Astrophysics and Cosmology in the 21st Century

A chapter in Mathematics Unlimited — 2001 and Beyond, 2001, pp 827-857 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract There are real perils in predicting the future development of disciplines such as physics, astrophysics and cosmology. A few examples of events occurring at the beginning of centuries in the modern era illustrate the problem and act as a warning of the dangers of prognostication. I invite the reader to supply contemporary analogies from their own experiences of the sciences and mathematics.
