[OKC-CosmologyGravity] C&G Working Group -- room FC61

[Jón Gudmundsson]

Dear all,

This Wednesday at 13:15, Miguel Zumalacarregui from Nordita will be telling us about Introduction to Boltzmann codes and the Cosmic Linear Anisotropy Solving System. Note that this time, we'll be in a room FC61 in the astronomy corridor.

Miguel promised to spend some time giving a pedagogical overview of the role of Boltzmann codes in cosmology. I'll leave you with a paragraph from Dodelson's Modern Cosmology:

In the 1960s a national magazine ran a cartoon showing dozens of businessmen and -woman walking the streets of Manhattan looking very important and serious. Thought bubbles over each head revealed their true focus: each was imagining a raucus sex scene. In at least some ways, the Boltzmann equation plays a similar role for physicists and astronomers: no one ever talks about it, but everyone is always thinking about it.

As usual, we'll have some form of pastries.

Cheers,
Jon
