Death of a Cosmological Parameter
I’m sad to have to use the medium of this blog to report the tragic death of the Hubble parameter. It had been declining for some time and, despite appearing to pick up recently, the end was somewhat inevitable. Condolences to the other parameters, especially Ω (who was in a close relationship with H), on this sad loss.

As a result of a purely coincidental alignment there appears in a blue bar in Google Reader, just above the title of this post, the word ‘Collapse’.

Or is it the death of the Dark Hydrant Hypothesis ?
(apparently something to do with the tapping of Dark Fluid)
That’s Life rang Welsh Water. They had nothing to say.
