AI Thread Summary
The discussion highlights a comprehensive science fiction timeline found at a shared link, praised for its thorough research despite its poor formatting, particularly a distracting green background. Participants express a desire for the content to be transformed into an animated format, similar to the show "Life After People," but with a more serious tone. The timeline's author, Jonathon Vos Post, is recognized for his significant contributions to the genre, although web design is not one of his skills. Overall, the timeline is considered a valuable resource for exploring cosmic themes in science fiction. The conversation emphasizes the importance of presentation in sharing such intriguing content.

Yeah, the formatting is awful.

What somebody needs to do is put this whole thing to animation and narration. Kinda like that "life after people" show but less cheesy.

It was written by my latest idol, Jonathon Vos Post, dubbed by one blogger to be the greatest nerd of all time. (http://www.jimwestergren.com/greatest-nerd-of-all-times-jonathan-vos-post/).

Despite his list of accomplishments, "Web design" is not among them.

Anyway, this is great cosmic stuff to think about.

Thread 'Matter density right after the decoupling'

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recombination_(cosmology) Was a matter density right after the decoupling low enough to consider the vacuum as the actual vacuum, and not the medium through which the light propagates with the speed lower than ##({\epsilon_0\mu_0})^{-1/2}##? I'm asking this in context of the calculation of the observable universe radius, where the time integral of the inverse of the scale factor is multiplied by the constant speed of light ##c##.

Thread 'Hubble Constant, Dark Energy and the Expanding Universe'

Why was the Hubble constant assumed to be decreasing and slowing down (decelerating) the expansion rate of the Universe, while at the same time Dark Energy is presumably accelerating the expansion? And to thicken the plot. recent news from NASA indicates that the Hubble constant is now increasing. Can you clarify this enigma? Also., if the Hubble constant eventually decreases, why is there a lower limit to its value?
