Today is the last day of the Outstanding Questions in Cosmology conference. A lot of short talks have been scheduled for this morning, while in the early afternoon there will be two conference summaries, one by Albert Stebbins and the other by Richard Lieu.
Most of this morning’s talks are quite technical, and I feel I would either have to be cryptic or write baloney if I were to report about them. But let me give some flavor of the talks in a few lines below anyhow. As with other posts this week, I have to apologize to those of you who find these discussions too hard to follow - I will resume outreach-style blogging after this conference is over!. (more…)
Confused March 29, 2007

I am sitting in the conference room just before the start of the Thursday morning session, and I have just been handed a revised program of the day. In it, there is no mention of Louise Riofrio’s talk on her exotic formula for space-time.
This sounds quite strange - I had thought that the issue with her talk had been resolved. Or maybe this is connected to the fact that Louise wrote yesterday in her blog that she is being detained at Gatwick for some problems with her visa ?
With Louise not showing up, the talk being cancelled, and anonymous posters here casting doubts on Louise’s identity, the plot has thickened considerably…
