A Small Patch Hypothesis in Cosmology

Meir Shimon

If our observable Universe is only a tiny region of a vastly larger and conformally older spacetime, then the usual formulations of the classical flatness and horizon problems of t…

The Simons Observatory: forecasted constraints on primordial gravitational waves with the expanded array of Small Aperture Telescopes

The Simons Observatory Collaboration, I. Abril-Cabezas, S. Adachi +479

We present updated forecasts for the scientific performance of the degree-scale (0.5 deg FWHM at 93 GHz), deep-field survey to be conducted by the Simons Observatory (SO). By 2027,…

Disentangling the Cosmic/Comoving Duality: The Cognitive Stability and Typicality Tests

Meir Shimon

Cosmological scenarios wherein the cumulative number of spontaneously formed, cognitively impaired, disembodied transient observers is vastly larger than the corresponding number o…

Differing Manifestations of Spatial Curvature in Cosmological FRW Models

Meir Shimon, Yoel Rephaeli

We find statistical evidence for a mismatch between the (global) spatial curvature parameter in the geodesic equation for incoming photons, and the corresponding parameter in t…
