Photos of some of the cosmologists

Some researchers' photos are available at Commons under CC-BY at Commons:File:Buchert11 team snapshot.xcf - the file is layered XCF (e.g. use GIMP) so that photos can easily be separated with or without the identifying initials. Boud ( talk) 18:53, 5 September 2016 (UTC) reply

fold into "Timescape Cosmology"?

I am writing (for Wiki Scientists class) the requested article Timescape Cosmology and have just stumbled upon this article, which describes (too obscurely, I think) the same thing. I'm thinking of folding this article into the other one.... (Not sure how to do that...)

Major revision

I began the requested article "Timescape cosmology" but then found this page, which is the more general set of cosmologies of which timescape cos. is an example. I thus wrote a less jargonistic, layman's explanation of these cosmologies and their history and wove them in with the existing more scientific explanations here.

A section is needed on the "backreaction debate" between Green-Wald and Buchert, et. al. See https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/inhomogeneous+cosmology#Coley18 for a primer. Also could link to Wilshire's website, Buchert's, et. al. WritingMan ( talk) 16:46, 24 April 2019 (UTC) reply

Messing with the page as TEACHER/AUTHOR

Hello,

I recently added significantly to this article. I'm an instructor at a university and am today presenting at a conference on having grad students write on Wikipedia. Therefore, I'm messing with the page for a couple of minutes to show how it autocorrects... Thanks. WritingMan ( talk) 07:43, 24 May 2019 (UTC) reply

Could someone please clarify...

In the "dark matter" section of "history" is the following sentence:

"Although the nature of this energy has yet to be adequately explained, in the concordance almost 70% of the energy density of the universe in the concordance model."

Perhaps some words were deleted when someone did a copy-paste, or maybe they started the sentence thinking it would go one way and it ended up another; whatever the case, I'm not really sure what it's trying to say and I was hoping someone who does could rewrite it in a way that makes sense.

Many preemptive thanks! DoctorTronik ( talk) 15:46, 26 September 2020 (UTC) reply

Removal of undue weight notice

I want to remove the undue weight notice regarding timescape cosmology. I can dig up more sources if necessary, but it's not undue weight to have a section covering one of the most (or the most) well known examples of these theories. -Jordgette [talk] 01:40, 10 July 2022 (UTC) reply
