Dark Matter, Dark Energy and Fundamental Physics
Michael S. Turner
More than sixty years ago Zwicky made the case that the great clusters of galaxies are held together by the gravitational force of unseen (dark) matter. Today, the case is stronger…
On the degree of scale invariance of inflationary perturbations
Dragan Huterer, Michael S. Turner
Many, if not most, inflationary models predict the power-law index of the spectrum of density perturbations is close to one, though not precisely equal to one, |n-1| \sim O(0.1), i…
Cosmological Parameters
Michael S. Turner
The discussion of cosmological parameters used to be a source of embarrassment to cosmologists. Today, measurements of the cosmological parameters are leading the way into the era…
Why Cosmologists Believe the Universe is Accelerating
Michael S. Turner
Theoretical cosmologists were quick to be convinced by the evidence presented in 1998 for the accelerating Universe. I explain how this remarkable discovery was the missing piece i…
Geometry and Destiny
Lawrence M. Krauss, Michael S. Turner
The recognition that the cosmological constant may be non-zero forces us to re-evaluate standard notions about the connection between geometry and the fate of our Universe. An open…
Big-Bang Nucleosynthesis: Linking Inner Space and Outer Space
Scott Burles, Kenneth M. Nollett, Michael S. Turner
We summarize the history, theory, observational status, and implications of big-bang nucleosynthesis.
