The Astrophysical JournalPrecise measurements of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) at low redshifts ( z ) serve as one of the most viable keys to unlocking our understanding of cosmic expansion, isotropy, and growth of structure.

Observational Constraints on Cosmological Superstrings
Theoretical Physics, 2017 From theoretical point of view and not being in contradiction with current observational data, the cosmic strings should have fundamentally different origin and are characterized by wide range of energies. The paper is devoted to search for possible cosmological observational tests on superstring theory, among them to identification of observational ...

braneworld cosmology and holography [PDF]
, 2002 This thesis is devoted to studying two important aspects of braneworld physics: their cosmology and their holography. We examine the Einstein equations induced on a general (n - 2)-brane of arbitrary tension, embedded in some n-dimensional bulk.

Relationship: Orientation, politics, ethics, and the idea and practice of self‐determination
Australian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.Abstract First Nations people deeply value relational modes of organising politics, governance, and social order that do not feature in European‐derived political ordering or in dominant governance and policy scholarship. While Indigenous peoples have long sought equitable and respectful relationships in the context of forced colonial engagement, the ...

Testability and Epistemic Shifts in Modern Cosmology [PDF]
, 2012 During the last decade new developments in theoretical and speculative cosmology have reopened the old discussion of cosmology’s scientific status and the more general question of the demarcation between science and non-science. The multiverse hypothesis,

The Big Picture: Religion and Global Comparative History
Journal of Religious History, EarlyView.This article considers what a ‘big picture’ approach to global religious history might look like, and in particular the implications of deploying the comparative method across much larger stretches of time and space than historians normally attend to. It will begin by reflecting on the epistemological moods that have hindered this project to date, the ...

Revisiting the Hubble Constant, Sound Horizon, and Cosmography from Late-time Universe Observations
The Astrophysical JournalThe Hubble tension has become one of the central problems in cosmology. In this work, we determine the Hubble constant H _0 and sound horizon r _d by using the combination of baryon acoustic oscillations (BAOs) from DESI surveys, time-delay lensed ...

GHOSTLY ENCOUNTERS IN LAGOS: Virtual Reality between Urban Marketing and Media Activism
International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract This article examines the role of virtual reality (VR) technologies in mediating and contesting dominant visions of urban futures in West Africa. Drawing on theoretical insights from a hybridization of the work of the German‐born Jewish critic Walter Benjamin and the Nigerian writer Amos Tutuola, I introduce the concept of phantasmagoria as a ...
