Hi. Glad I found this forum! I hope to have discussions about latest development in cosmology and physics, specifically the recent launch of the Herschel and Planck space telescopes and the upcoming James Webb Space Telescope and what kind of results astronomers are looking for from them. Also interesting is the next-generation ground based telescopes such as the Thirty Meter Telescope, the Giant Magellan Telescope, and the European Extremely Large Telescope. The adaptive optics technology used will enable them to exceed the performance of space-based telescopes. On the physics side, the Large Hadron Collider will tell us the properties of the Higgs boson and perhaps what dark matter and dark energy is. I am not a working physicist but I do have a master's degree in the the subject. My sources of information are mainly from Scientifc American magazine and Science Daily website. Hope to get to know you all.
I have created a new thread under Space and Physics Forums - Suggest Reading - called "Astonomical Telescopes - Latest Discoveries, Technologies and Developments." Please feel free to comment or add new information there. Thank you.
