This is the opening salvo in cosmology's Battle of Trafalgar. Dave Wiltshire has lined up a set piece 20 years in the making that is going to obliterate both lambda CDM and MOND and all the rest.
- dcsommer 2y agoSounds fascinating. Anywhere I can read more about the build-up to this moment? Has David Wiltshire written about this?
- tigerlily 2y agoHe's been quietly publishing over the years, and waiting for instruments like Webb and Euclid to return data. Here's an up to date list: https://inspirehep.net/literature?sort=mostrecent&size=25&page=1&q=find%20a%20wiltshire%2Cd https://inspirehep.net/literature?sort=mostrecent&size=25&pa.... Another list on his homepage, but not up to date: http://www2.phys.canterbury.ac.nz/~dlw24/dlw-pub.html http://www2.phys.canterbury.ac.nz/~dlw24/dlw-pub.html I think the most exciting thing is probably the team he's got together now, and some of the computational stuff his associates have going at the moment.
