About me: Having read a number of books on cosmology and particle physics, I found my-self raking through 5 or 6 books or looking on the web as I tried to remember some tangible fact that had interested me. In the end, I decided to collect this info and post it as blogs under various headings. With the introduction of LaTeX at Physics Forums, I've started posting new blogs (and moved a couple of old blogs) over there- http://www.physicsforums.com/blog.php?u=68677.
