43. Summary Many observations support the  -CDM model, but… - What is the Dark Matter? - What is the Dark Energy? - Why are their amounts similar? If in 10 years it turns out that w=-1 to within 1%, then what?? New Physics? The Anthropic Principle? Multiverse?

45. Globalisation and the New Astronomy  One definition of globalisation: “A decoupling of space and time - emphasising that with instantaneous communications, knowledge and culture can be shared around the world simultaneously.”

46. Globalisation and the New Astronomy  How is the New Astronomy affected by globalisation? Free information (WWW), big international projects, numerous conferences, telecons…  Recall the Cold War era: Hot Dark Matter/top-down (Russia) vs. Cold Dark Matter/bottom-up (West)  Is the agreement on the `concordance model’ a product of globalisation?

47. Globalisation and the New Astronomy  Independent communities are beneficial, but eventually they should talk to each other!
