Explorations in survey cosmology, theoretical physics, signal processing, and Bayesian inference. What is the physical origin of all the structure in the Universe? CMB), has been the foundation for the age of precision cosmology. CMB data have thus far led the way in constraining early universe physics, and ESA’s Planck. Satellite is currently mapping the CMB at the highest precision ever achieved. However, next generation galaxy surveys such as the Dark Energy Survey. Through the ERC Starting Grants.

Inflation, Statistics, and Predictions — Oh, My!
http://www.earlyuniverse.org/inflation-statistics-and-predictions-oh-my
Explorations in survey cosmology, theoretical physics, signal processing, and Bayesian inference. A brand new sky from Planck! Inflation, Statistics, and Predictions — Oh, My! On 19 February, 2015, in Outreach. This guest blog post was written by Layne Price. I’ll let you in on a little secret about inflation. We don’t know really know any of the details. This might or might not be surprising to you, but it’s not often advertised — although it does keep us working hard! So, what’s the problem? Would cert...
