So if we have different distributions of electrons and
positrons, then we get a circular polarisation component.
i'm sure there must be more basic texts on this subject...

hi cosmo-torun,
i haven't seen an announcement for a talk tomorrow (Fri 10 April),
will there be one?
Anyway, i propose for 16.00 Fri 17 April:
Dark Energy as a spatial continuity condition (arXiv:0904.0975)
Moze byc?

witam wszystkim na cosmo-torun,
If space is flat and compact, then dark energy does not
require any exotic explanation, it's just a stretching effect
required by the assumptions of homogeneity and continuity.

Geometry rather than exotic particle physics or modifications of
gravity.
Enjoy. :)
