An unrefereed paper astro-ph/0406437 appeared yesterday in which Ari Brynjolfsson interprets SNIa data using a "plasma redshift" approach which rejects time...

The standard paradigm for the cosmos is composed of 3 main parts: (1) the standard model of particle physics, (2) the standard Big Bang model, and (3) the...

I found a very good catalog of detached eclipsing binary stars with mass determinations "accurate to 2%". It is an ongoing catalog with new systems being added...
