\nCosmology almost always lacks context.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cosmology books, papers and articles typically provide a historical account and often elaborate mathematical explanations, but rarely present a physical grounding framework to explain how it fits in with firmly established physics.<\/p>\n

My concerns about this led to an invitation to give a talk for a Cosmology Conference sited in the magnificent Olympic Peninsula.\u00a0 My talk entitled \u201cGround Rules for Cosmological Physics\u201d resulted in an invitation to provide a paper based upon it.<\/p>\n

This paper is simply a reminder for cosmology enthusiasts of the bright line separating the laws of physics from science fiction. To help examine cosmology science claims and concepts it provides some tools: rules, guidelines and a definition of space.<\/p>\n

It explains the stringent thresholds for an idea before it can accurately be called a scientific theory or hypothesis; and how theorists nearly always bear the burden of proof for their ideas.<\/p>\n

“These simple tools provide solid ground so you may more easily examine cosmology claims to help make up your own mind which side of the science \/ science fiction line a specific claim belongs on.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
