If my difficulties in envisioning modern cosmology are typical of
well-informed layfolk, then cosmologists are not doing a good job of
popularizing their efforts. I am referring to the poverty of
*conceptual* cosmological models. Perhaps the mathematical models
are beautiful, but if such models do not translate into mental
images, then cosmologists ought to say so bluntly.
