Has Cosmology Been Solved?
An anonymous reader writes "In 1998, Dr. Michael Turner published a famous paper titled 'Cosmology Solved? Quite Possibly!' where he outlined seven major issues cosmologists should address in the following ten years. Nine years later, he revisits the list in an interview with the Slackerpedia Galactica podcast. He summarizes progress on each issue, adds some new goals for the next ten years, and even suggests that cosmology is now more interesting than science fiction."
you free people up to focus on things that are more directly relevant to their survival
Like picketing funeral services for gay people.
sic transit gloria mundi
I know, it's ridiculous when clearly they could instead be picketing the funerals of veterans of the Iraq war for, uhm enabling gay people to be gay in America, or hmm. What was the reasoning behind that whole thing again? Oh yea media exposure. For God and stuff.
