| The New Era in Observational Cosmology |
In the fourth part of their discussion, Pedro Ferreira and Jerome Martin conjecture about the future of inflation. They talk about the potential for new evidence for and against the theory, and the variety of new probes into our cosmological environment. |

| "Matters of Scale" Part 1 - Extremes of Scale |
Professors Pedro Ferreira and Alan Barr explain what scale means to them, from particle physics to the visible universe. At the subatomic level, gravity has a surprisingly large effect and particles are so small that they have no size. |

| How can we deal with the challenge of 'data overload'? |
We are reaching a point where computers can no longer cope with the quantity of data collected from cosmological simulations - a problem that will grow, not only in cosmology. |

| Why do we need 'citizen science'? |
Harnessing the general public to help analyse complex data sets is not only helping scientists with galaxy classification. |
