COSMO 98 facilitated the interaction among particle physicists, cosmologists, and astronomers, so that advances in understanding the smallest domain of sub-nuclear physics and of the largest reaches of the universe could each affect the other area. This interplay has produced remarkable progress, but it has also exposed interesting conflicts which should lead to further progress. Book News Annotation:
The November 1998 workshop at Asilomar, CA represents the second in a
series reporting on the convergence of and impressive advances in
particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology. A program highlight is
a debate on quantum cosmology among luminaries Stephen Hawking,
Andrei Linde, and Alexander Vilenkin. The some 75 papers revolve
around the areas of: quantum cosmology and inflation, superstrings
and cosmology, on observational cosmology, particle physics and
cosmology, the missing energy/matter of the universe, and neutrinos.
Upcoming COSMO conferences are scheduled for Trieste, Italy and
Korea. Includes a list of participants with contact data, and the
conference program. Includes an author index only.
