Inflation

The Cosmology Interest Group is a
sub group of the Lincoln Hills Astronomy
Group. 
Meetings are in the form of a lecture or a
video series,
focusing on
some aspect of cosmology;
followed by a spirited discussion.  There is no need
to be proficient in math or physics formulas. 

We try to keep things as simple as
possible, so everyone can grasp the topic being
presented.  This is a fun group with lots very smart
members to answer just about any questions you

may have about the cosmos.

information contact

January 20, 2025
Professor Charles Hunt on cosmology in the 21st Century.  Cosmology changes from a rather vague set of ideas to things we can measure with high precision.

February 17, 2025
John Goeschl on a unique extended square-wave protocol, using the short-lived isotope tracer 11CO2, to test a mathematical model of the Mϋnch Pressure-Flow hypothesis of phloem transport in plants. Recent examinations of the model reveal localized discrepancies between the pressure and speed profiles that can be resolved by treating them as stationary waves with differing propagation velocities. According to Ron Yelton this explains the connection between the elements being formed in the universe and how they came together to form living organisms.
 
March 17, 2025
Professor Charles Hunt on how the universe can expand faster than light speed as well as a couple of other concepts.
April 21, 2025
Professor Alexei Filippenko on black holes.
