  1. Cosmology at the University of Cape Town http:/ /cosmology.uct.ac.za

  2. The coming of age of Cosmology The last five years have seen the coming of age of Cosmology, a mature branch of science based on the hot Big Bang theory and the Inflationary Paradigm. We can now define rather precisely a Standard Model of Cosmology, where the basic parameters are determined within small uncertainties, of just a few percent, thanks to a host of experiments and observations. The Cosmology and Gravity Group

  3. Why do Cosmology in South Africa The millennium reviews of the National Research Councils (USA) and PPARC (UK) both ranked dark energy, dark matter and other cosmological subjects as top of their lists of fundamental science questions for the new millennium. In the past four years, cosmology and astronomy papers have dominated the annual top-10 list of most-cited high-energy physics papers. The Cosmology and Gravity Group

Lemaitres visited Cape Town in 1952 on the occasion of a British Association meeting. Substantial research work on Cosmology only began at UCT in 1973 with the establishment of the group by GFR Ellis. Serious work on General Relativity had started before that under the direction of H. Rund (who obtained his PhD at UCT) and a number of his students (Matravers, Lovelock and Wainwright) have made major contributions to GR and cosmology. The Cosmology and Gravity Group
