4.0 out of 5 stars Planet X using the Infared Astronomical Satelitte?, October 29, 2008
By 
This review is from: Ripples in the Cosmos: A view behind the scenes of the new cosmology (Hardcover)
A lot of the text in this volume is repeated in a lot of other cosmology books that I have read. The virtue of having 15 or more years history on the area makes this book shine as being well written and somewhat insightful.
What made me realize that here was a fellow with a wider point of view was his talk about using infared to detect far solar objects ( with all the new Pluto-like planetoids being found in recent years). I have given up on expecting cosmologists to actually back up wimps and dark matter
with some actual physics or particle analysis! It seems better that they try to be better at observation maybe? I have to say that in my view the British school of cosmology has pretty much devalued itself with the Rees, Magueijo and Hawking disinformation that has been all around?
We have to try harder: I, now, have a large box filled with mostly bad cosmology books that lack originality, interest or novelty.
