• - A review of how the understanding of our Universe has evolved
  
• - A review of the geometry and density of the universe, with a focus on inflationary models.
  
• - Recently two different groups have measured the apparent brightness of supernovae with redshifts near z = 1. Based on this data the old idea of a cosmological constant is making a comeback.
  
• - This is a pedagogical paper which explains some ideas in cosmology at a level accessible to undergraduate students. Following standard quantization procedures the Wheeler-DeWitt equation in the minisuperspace approximation is derived for empt
  
• - Articles about the Universe, Cosmology, Quantum Mechanics, Relativity & collection of some FAQ's.
  
• - Contains a cosmology tutorial. Preliminary introduction to General Relativity and its application to Cosmology. Also study of stringy matter as a part of the Universe.
  
• - Discusses philosophical views about cosmology in the 1930s and 1940s; from the Stanford Encyclopedia, by George Gale.
  
• - Theoretical cosmologists study the evolution and composition of the universe as a system, constructing theories and confronting them with experiments and observations
  
• - This site is intended to help the reader step outside of time and imagine the shape of what is ultimately possible in a timeless universe.
  
• - A theory that unites quantum mechanics and general relativity claims that there was no first moment in time, but it still agrees with the predictions of classical cosmology.
  
• - This is a contracted version of a series of lectures for graduate and undergraduate students
  
• - Online list of classic research papers in relativistic cosmology and general relativity, with links to arXiv.org when available.
  
• - Introduction to cosmology and inflation by Scott Watson of Brown University.
  
• - An introduction to particle aspects of cosmology with particular reference to primordial nucleosynthesis, dark matter and baryogenesis is provided. In particular, various scenarios-GUT baryogenesis, electroweak baryogenesis and baryogenesis through leptog
  
• - An article on the Einstein-deSitter model of cosmology
  
• - The big bang theory works better than ever. If only cosmologists could figure out that mysterious acceleration....
  
• - A set of notes tracing the historical development of cosmology in a qualitative way.
  
• - Includes a staff list and a brief description of work done in that centre.
  
• - Article from Eric Weisstein's World of Physics.
  
• - Detailed explanations of the most important ideas and developments in human understanding of the universe. Includes original essays by some of today's leading figures in cosmology, along with original illustrations, program descriptions, explanations of c
  
• - These lecture notes provide an introduction to cosmic inflation. In particular the basic concepts of inflation, generation of density perturbations, and reheating after inflation.
  
• - The aim of this lecture is to highlight two areas of recent progress in inflationary cosmology, namely reheating and the quantum theory of cosmological perturbations.
  
• - A short article on the possible structures for space in the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker model
  
• - Learn about the origins of the universe and its fate. Einstein's Theory of Relativity is both interesting and comprehensible.
  
• - Talk presented at COSPAR '02, Houston, Texas, October 2002.
  
• - References to cosmological sites featuring in-depth coverage of issues like dark matter, black holes and symmetric theory.
  
• - General relativity does not allow one to specify the topology of space, leaving the possibility that space is multi- rather than simply- connected. This paper reviews the mathematical properties of multi-connected spaces, and the different tools to
  
• - A short review of recent results on exact solutions in multidimensional cosmology
  
• - In this paper, the fundamentals of modern cosmology for an isotropic and homogeneous space-time will be reviewed. Other issues suggesting a more general theory are presented and inflation is introduced as a resolution to this conundrum.
  
• - Pablo G. Ostrov explains Big Bang theory for non-scientists.
  
• - A simple, non-technical introduction to the pre-big bang scenario is given, emphasizing physical motivations, considerations, and consequences over formalism.
  
• - A collection of articles explaining cosmology and the theory of relativity, as well as biographies of noted cosmologists.
  
• - A tutorial introducing the use of dynamical systems to study the large scale structure of the universe.
  
• - The aim of this set of lectures is a systematic presentation of a 1+3 covariant approach to studying the geometry, dynamics, and observational properties of relativistic cosmological models.
  
• - The following pages present a discussion of the role the cosmological constant plays in modern cosmology. They are designed to offer an overview of how the cosmological constant alters standard cosmology, and to discuss whether a non-zero cosmological con
