Building ‘Bigger and Better’ Has Pushed Cosmology Forward. Can It Take It Any Further?
Pedro G. Ferreira, a professor of astrophysics at the University of Oxford, addresses what he calls the ‘cosmological chasm’ between ‘the physics we know and love, and some of the phenomena that we observe, but simply can’t make head nor tail of.’
