What are the current ideas describing the large scale structure of the universe? How do they relate to the observed facts? This book brings together many of the world's leading players in cosmology to look at both the strengths and weaknesses of the current big bang model in explaining certain puzzling data. In addition to presenting individual views, the resulting discussions are also recorded. Giving a comprehensive coverage of the expanding field of cosmology, this text will be valuable for graduate students and researchers in cosmology and theoretical astrophysics.
