Tired of trying to work out whether there's exo-life out there ?

Think you're a budding Cosmologist ?

Then try this …

So you think you can solve a cosmology puzzle? (http://www.physorg.com/news/2010-12-cosmology-puzzle.html)



We should nominate someone to represent us !!
.. Someone with passion for Darkness !! (Someone from Primary School or perhaps EU ?)
:)
Cheers
PS: I just found out what the prizes are:
Each prize will be an expenses paid trip to the final workshop at JPL Pasadena for one member of the winning teams, plus an iPad or iPod -- or an item of similar price (winners can negotiate the exact prize but not the total amount of expenditure). Travel expenses will be paid from anywhere in the world.

Good to see you take on the challenge, Chris !

We'd have no chance !!

Just found some interesting tools (http://www.greatchallenges.info/) on their site ! (Go to bottom of the page and click on the "Explore Cosmology" useful link. Look for 'QuickStart Calculator' and 'QuickStart Tutorial').

The calculators allow you to 'roll your own' Cosmology !!

The Tutorial (http://www.greatchallenges.info/) gives a really good overview on Lensing, also.

Cheers
