Talk:Timeline of cosmological theories

message: Anon User:204.56.7.1, can you explain why you prefer the phrase "determine the presence of" to the single word "discover"? --Blainster 28 June 2005 22:32 (UTC)
Separate question: Aryabhata is stated in this article to have written about heliocentrism, yet the wikipedia article about him clearly states his views were geocentric. contradictory...  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FEA8:A2A0:C17:0:0:0:4 (talk) 15:00, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

message: I have removed the beginnings section which does not belong here. Leave that stuff to the Timeline of the universe. Joshuaschroeder 29 June 2005 15:08 (UTC)
No ... because that is a Timeline of the universe according to the big bang! JDR 19:23, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Removed "beginnings"

message: This sort of confusion crops up all the time. 
Someone is looking for the history of the big bang, creation of atoms, etc, only to find that he is looking at the history of the THEORIES about these matters. This should be cleared up in every case. Myles325a 08:38, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Did you find this at the bottom, or are you suggesting it be stated more prominently? "See also Timeline of the Big Bang" Art LaPella 20:36, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, I see that somebody else has already raised the very issue I want to address: namely, the title of this article is misleading — and should be altered to more accurately reflect the contents. I think Myles325a was trying to suggest that the proper title would be Timeline of cosmological theories. If there are no objections, I will make that change in a few days. For the time being, I will put a link at the top for folks who drop by looking for something else. Cgingold 10:55, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  timeline of cosmological theories 

message: 1950 - Fred Hoyle derisively coins the term "Big Bang".
The page on Hoyle says that it was not meant to be pejorative. Any thoughts? Gmarsden (talk) 05:57, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, it was pejorative: F. Hoyle, in a conference, introduced  G. Lemaître as the "big bang man" to make fun of its universe theory. Hoyle has been unfortunate on this expression since it went to be popular! RockSolidCosmo (talk) 08:38, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

message: So from the 9th through 15th centuries, only Arabs gave a crap about cosmology. Glad I came to this article. Jersey John (talk) 22:33, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

message: Hello,
I need help with the following: I'm trying to combine this links (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmology) section 3 with this links (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_cosmological_theories) information. I keep on getting confused and muddling it up...
Can someone help me with this please?

thread_title:  Editing Help 

message: This timeline is missing info about whole core domains of theories:
* Multiverse
* Simulated reality and holographic reality
* Semi-simulated reality (like Diminished Reality) and/or metalevel theories about cosmology and its/related assumptions such as cosmological data being nonmanipulated and unfiltered/complete
* Cyclic model theories
* Things like summarized/major events of history of loop quantum gravity, interpretations of quantum mechanics (like recently Quantum darwinism), quantum gravity & quantum cosmology
Each should have at least one entry with a wikilink. It would be best if the most major progress in these fields (at least the Multiverse one) would have an entry and/or if there was an item summarizing progress in their fields for each
Highly detailed entries wouldn't be due here, at least as long the more detailed, less major items can't be filtered away and the timeline is as short as it's currently. So the following would probably be too detailed for a separate item but could be included in the proposed multi-event summary-type item added for every section (as a brief mention with refs with the details for the interested).
Other than that they'd be more suited for potential sub-articles like Timeline of multiverse theories, albeit such may be better structured by topic rather than chronologically (as the respective articles mostly already are; it's also useful to be able to have a chronological view and/or a view that highlights recent changes).
The following are relevant items from 2022 in science (info is also at the respective articles):
A study presents a mechanism by which the hypothesized potential dark-energy-explaining quintessence, if true, would smoothly cause the accelerating expansion of the Universe to inverse to contraction, possibly within the cosmic near-future (100 My) given current data. It concludes that its end-time scenario theory fits "naturally with cyclic cosmologies [(each a theory of cycles of universe originations and ends, rather than the theories of one Big Bang beginning of the Universe/multiverse, to which authors were major contributors)] and recent conjectures about quantum gravity".
A study shows how a Twin-world models cosmological model – already extensively studied to find out why gravity appears much weaker than other known forces – could explain the Hubble constant (H0) tension via interactions between the two worlds. The "mirror world" would contain copies of all existing fundamental particles. On 2 May, another twin/pair-world or "bi-worlds" cosmology is shown to theoretically be able to solve the cosmological constant (Λ) problem, closely related to dark energy: two interacting worlds with a large Λ each resulting in a small shared effective Λ. Previous similar models e.g. attempt to explain the baryon asymmetry – why there was more matter than antimatter at the beginning – with a mirror anti-universe.
Note that items, especially the most recent ones, could later be merged with other items, replaced, removed, extended or revised.
Once there are ≥ 1 items per year, this timeline could be added to the box at the top of 2022 in science and the template at 2022. One could also, for example, transclude most recent items in (a separate section in) articles like Cosmology or in some way (e.g. in a collapsed template) at Portal:Physics.
Maybe I'll also add a notification to Talk:Cosmology about this.
a) - e) are all major fields/types/instances of cosmological theories so they should be integrated somehow here.
