A cosmological history lesson

History has shown that science cannot save a theoretical model that does not reflect the “reality” of current observations by randomly adding new parameters. For example when the geocentric model of planetary motion was first proposed it was a good fit to the observational data available at the time.  However it became necessary to modify … Read more

Deriving the fundamental constants of nature

One of the most fundamental questions in physics and cosmology is why the physical constants are what they are. For example the fine structure constant is one of the about 22 empirical parameters in the Standard Model of particle physics, whose value is not determined within it. In other words their values are not determined … Read more

What came before the Big Bang
