Our claim that none of the cosmological parameters are constant in the standard model. This is the likely endgame for precision cosmology. Building a new model will take time but this is the intermediary step.

@drkevinbyrne @eurireland Hi Kevin, can the government not just relocate the IPO to outside of Dublin? 😀

The wealthiest private colleges hoard as much money as many of the biggest tech companies in the US.

(I know cash on hand isn't the same as endowment funds. It's the scale that's interesting.)

@alexkaplan0 @martinmbauer Physicists are different people my man.
You can't claim hypocrisy by saying "physicists say X but also Y" when it's different people saying the two things.

I doubt that CMTC, for example, is in the habit of writing grant proposals that hype room-temp SC

@ACT_Pol https://t.co/pi4PUFkAk3 second paragraph, last line, echoes an idea in the title of https://t.co/m4A4YbKx4v without credit.

Poll for #astrotwitter: if you have a celestial object that can make observers, theoreticians, and simulators happy when being analysed further, how would you call that object?
Please inspire me with some brainstorming!

@MMylova Very cute. Any sign of a George Smoot (notable Ewha alum) statue being erected on campus? Students could work George into the routine. 😀

@just_shaun If the LCDM model is breaking down (tensions are physical) evolution is expected at the background level from Friedmann equations+simple math. Once this is seen, most recently https://t.co/Uap6BqeaWd, evolution in S8/Omega_m0 is expected.

Striking plot from DES, https://t.co/tJ8mh0Pqge. Time to liquidate some stock in modern cosmology?

[Eoin O Colgain @ocolgain]

@cosmo_of_69 Just as GR has singularities to tell you it's breaking down, LCDM has H0 tension.

[Eoin O Colgain @ocolgain]

@VivPoulin @DScol @160GHz @cosmosgalli Yet to read the paper. We will explain next week why H0 tension is an intrinsic property of LCDM. It's the model telling you it is breaking down. This precludes systematics.

Here are the stats for the launch week: over 620 views from 37 countries! https://t.co/86QOi5IDOg is happy to get more!
