Dark Matter and Dark Energy in the Universe
Michael S. Turner
For the first time, we have a plausible, complete accounting of matter and energy in the Universe. Expressed a fraction of the critical density it goes like this: neutrinos, betwee…
Cosmology Solved?
Michael S. Turner
For two decades the hot big-bang model as been referred to as the standard cosmology -- and for good reason. For just as long cosmologists have known that there are fundamental que…
Cosmology Solved? Maybe
Michael S. Turner
For two decades the hot big-bang model as been referred to as the standard cosmology -- and for good reason. For just as long cosmologists have known that there are fundamental que…
Cosmology Solved? Quite Possibly!
Michael S. Turner
The discovery of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) in 1964 by Penzias and Wilson led to the establishment of the hot big-bang cosmological model some ten years later. Discoveri…
Constraining Variations in the Fine-Structure Constant with the Cosmic Microwave Background
Manoj Kaplinghat, Robert J. Scherrer, Michael S. Turner
Any time variation in the fine-structure constant alters the ionization history of the universe and therefore changes the pattern of cosmic microwave background fluctuations. We ca…
Large-scale Structure from Quantum Fluctuations in the Early Universe
Michael S. Turner
A better understanding of the formation of large-scale structure in the Universe is arguably the most pressing question in cosmology. The most compelling and promising theoretical…
