(ASTRONOMY) This article examines correlations between cosmology and particle physics that could explain mysteries in both fields.Summary: INNER SPACE AND OUTER SPACE: DEEP-DISH COSMOLOGISTS -- "If there were a Smithsonian Museum for cosmology, one of its exhibits should include the family room of a split-level house on Glen Drive in Warrenville, Illinois. During the mid 1980s, the house in this Chicago suburb, owned at the time by Michael Turner, functioned as an Underground Railroad for aspiring cosmologists. The underground gathered Monday nights for six years in the family room of the house. Driven by a passion for cosmology, Turner and his co-0host and partner Edward W. "Rocky" Kolb led discussions there about everything from the Big Bang to how the same laws of physics that control the structure of the cosmos also molded the inner world of atoms." (ASTRONOMY) This article reveals an academic hotbed of cosmology that took the form of informal pizza parties in the 1980s.Summary: INNER SPACE AND OUTER SPACE: THE 8 GREATEST MYSTERIES OF COSMOLOGY -- "These eight mysteries of modern cosmology are the ones that are just deep enough to perplex cosmologists without being so deep as to appear unanswerable. And if good fortune continues to smile on cosmology as it has in the past century, many scientists are optimistic that these questions may be answered by 2010. Does that prognosis mean cosmology is a problem on the verge of being solved? Unfortunately, no. Cosmologists can be certain of one thing: every answer generates other questions." (ASTRONOMY) This article examines eight important questions vexing cosmologists.
