The speed with which other people read a new wikipedia page and make corrections in a way which shows they appreciate the work is truly amazing. It really makes writing something satisfying in a way unlike any other pedagogical writing, where you only hope that others will eventually find your effort useful. Thanks to adrian for the typo correction :). Boud 14:01 2 Jun 2003 (UTC)
My problem is that it might only take me a couple of minutes to proofread but will now take several days to understand (or try to)!! :^) Adrian

Hi, I was unhappy with this statement "Since cosmic variance is an attempt to make a scientific statement about an unrepeatable scientific experiment (over the lifetime of any 21st century scientist remaining on Earth), this lies at the borderline between physcial cosmology and philosophical cosmology." and so I removed it. What lies at the borderline? Cosmic variance is a notion that cosmologists have to deal with in understanding how to deal with measurements that have a very small statistical sample, but it doesn't mean that these measurements are philosophy. The real philisophical problem cosmologists face is dealing with the anthropic principle. --Joke137 00:52, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Seems irrelevant to include the reference to the "Cosmic Variance" blog here. It's a great blog, but there's no way anyone interested in the cosmological concept necessarily has any interest in a coincidentally named entity. Should be listed elsewhere.
