Science: Physics: Cosmology

Pablo G. Ostrov explains Big Bang theory for non-scientists.

From the Official String Theory Website. Basic and advanced tutorials on the age and structure of the universe, the Big Bang, and the relation of string theory to cosmology.

Introduction to cosmology and inflation by Scott Watson of Brown University.

A lecture on aspects of superstring theory and cosmology.

Theoretical cosmologists study the evolution and composition of the universe as a system, constructing theories and confronting them with experiments and observations

A very basic overview of cosmology

A theory that unites quantum mechanics and general relativity claims that there was no first moment in time, but it still agrees with the predictions of classical cosmology.

Article from Eric Weisstein's World of Physics.

A thesis (in PDF format) which studies the possible topologies of the universe and their physical implications.

An article on the Einstein-deSitter model of cosmology

A set of notes tracing the historical development of cosmology in a qualitative way.

A short article on the possible structures for space in the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker model

A review of how the understanding of our Universe has evolved

The aim of this set of lectures is a systematic presentation of a 1+3 covariant approach to studying the geometry, dynamics, and observational properties of relativistic cosmological models.

A site dedicated to cosmology, both basic and advanced, maintained by Cambridge university

In this paper, the fundamentals of modern cosmology for an isotropic and homogeneous space-time will be reviewed. Other issues suggesting a more general theory are presented and inflation is introduced as a resolution to this conundrum.
