We advocate the possibility that (effective) cosmological constant \ensuremath{\Lambda} varies in time as ${R}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}2}$, R being scale factor of our expanding Universe. This behavior can be obtained under some simple and general assumptions conformity with quantum cosmology. After pointing out several advantages worth noticing, we show such a time-varying leads to no conflict existing observations. However, it does change predictions standard cosmology matter-dominated...

Matter evolved under the influence of gravity from minuscule density fluctuations. Nonperturbative structure formed hierarchically over all scales and developed non-Gaussian features in Universe, known as cosmic web.

ABSTRACT The ∼2 Myr old classical T Tauri star CI Tau shows periodic variability in its radial velocity (RV) variations measured at infrared (IR) and optical wavelengths. We find that these observations are consistent with a massive planet ∼9 day period orbit.

Abstract We report on comprehensive experimental studies of turbulence spreading in edge plasmas. These demonstrate the relation and entrainment to intermittent convective density fluctuation events or bursts (i.e. blobs holes). The non-diffusive character is thus elucidated. velocity (or mean jet velocity) manifests a linear correlation with skewness fluctuations, increases auto-correlation time fluctuations. Turbulence by positive fluctuations outward, while negative inward. degree...
