Is the Universe Enough? Can It Suffice as a Basis for Worldviews?
Journal of Big History, 2019 The modern scientific cosmic perspective is unique and compelling, but it is not for everyone. Modern cosmology can be humbling and awe-inspiring, even motivating It can also be overwhelming, even scary.

Evolution of cosmic strings [PDF]
Physical Review D, 1986 The evolution of a system of cosmic strings is studied using an extended version of an analytic formalism introduced by Kibble. It is shown that, in a radiation-dominated universe, the fate of the string system depends sensitively on the fate of the closed loops that are produced by the interactions of very long strings.

Cosmic evolution of the spatially resolved star formation rate and stellar mass of the CALIFA survey [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2018 We investigate the cosmic evolution of the absolute and specific star formation rate (SFR, sSFR) of galaxies as derived from a spatially resolved study of the stellar populations in a set of 366 nearby galaxies from the Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field ...

Dynamical Evolution of Cosmic Supermassive Binary Black Holes and Their Gravitational-wave Radiation [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2020 We investigate the evolution of supermassive binary black holes (BBHs) in galaxies with realistic property distributions and the gravitational-wave (GW) radiation from the cosmic population of these BBHs.

The Tree of Knowledge: System A New Map for Big History
Journal of Big History, 2019 This article summarizes the Tree of Knowledge (ToK) System (Henriques, 2003; 2011), and compares and contrasts its depiction of cosmic evolution as four “dimensions of existence” (i.e., Matter, Life, Mind and Culture) with Big History’s eight thresholds ...
