cosmology 1 2 Setting the scene In cosmology, under-determination is not always understood in the way I have sketched Hence I said ‘often’, rather than ‘always’, when I reported how cosmologists use ‘observable universe’, and when I said that under-determination is about whether data about the observable universe determine a

As a ?rst distinction, applicable inside and outside cosmology, there are two entropic values attributable to a system at any moment in time: 1 The actual entropy S 2 The maximum possible entropy Smax Furthermore, in the particular case of cosmology, there are at least three distinct concepts of the entropy of the universe: 3
cosmology using the Bayes factor as well as the prior-insensitive suspiciousness statistic Combining two low-redshift probes, we jointly analyse the clustering of BOSS galaxies with weak lensing measurements from the Kilo-Degree Survey (KV450) The com-bination of BOSS and KV450 improves the measurement by up to 45 , constraining ?
Cosmology (from the Greek: kosmos, universe, world, order, and logos, word, theory) is probably the most ancient body of knowledge, dating from as far back as the predictions of seasons by early civiliza-tions Yet, until recently, we could only answer to some of its more basic questions with an order of mag-nitude estimate
framework (the “standard model” of cosmology; hereafter SMC) This is followed by an overview of some proposed creationist models for cosmology, with an evaluation of how well those models can explain what is seen in the universe Finally, I conclude by discussing the implications for the current state of creationist cosmology
history of astronomy that follows, seems completely wrong science of cosmology comprises all that we observe of cosmology retains aspects of myth - ology
