hi everyone,
We've waited too long, so let's restart our cosmo coffee research-level workshops now - at least Bartek and i should be there:
14.00g Fri 30.10.2009 @KRA = tomorrow! (if you read this Thursday)
Topic: loose discussion based on what people find interesting from these online conference notes (or your own personal notes):

A few thoughts:
* the inhomogeneous universe stuff is important with Rocky Kolbs' summary that LCDM is best seen as a phenomenological, not physical, model, and it's interesting that Peebles thinks he has a good order of magnitude counterargument;
* Barrow et al. think that their claim to evolving alpha remains valid and is being strengthened;
* Renate Lotte: Causal Dynamical Triangulation = CDT approach to quantum gravity
