My thoughts on what the Hubble tension really is, based on George Efstathiou’s “To H0 or not to H0?“, arXiv:2103.08723.
The Cosmic Revolutionary's Handbook
This week’s post is devoted to the search of Jupiter’s lightning bolts (aka gamma-rays from dark matter), the construction of new astrophysically-motivated black hole mass function and subsequent search for the black hole mass gap, and a (unusual for this blog, I know!) philosophical discussion on the anthropic principle.
This post is meant to advertise both my book review which just appeared in Nature Astronomy, as well as the book I reviewed. Two months ago Nature Astronomy asked me to write a book review on The Cosmic Revolutionary’s Handbook, a new popular science book by Luke A. Barnes and Geraint F. Lewis to be published by Cambridge University Press (one of the oldest and most prestigious publishing houses in the world) in March.
