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. For more information contact Ron Yelton at ryelton660@aol.com. Our Next Meeting The Cosmology Interest Group (CIG) typically meets at 6:45 on the third Monday of each month, in the Fine Arts room at the Orchard Creek lodge. The meetings consist of lectures on a variety of subjects related to astrophysics. For class information, see the meeting schedule below. |

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. |

2025 Professor Alexei Filippenko on black holes. |
