On distant supernovae
2011 Nobel prize in physics has been announced. While it did not go to me nor to my friends/colleagues, I think I am reasonably satisfied with the decision. The Nobel committee has acknowledged that we live in Universe, moreover, in an expanding Universe, moreover, the expansion goes faster and faster hinting on lots of dark matter. The cosmologists may be boring and arrogant, and may exploit the natural interest of a taxpayer to things “above” without any measure. Still, they are busy with right stuff.
There’s a really well-written blurb about scientific background
at the Nobel site.
