Cosmology and Philosophy

So is anyone thinking of doing this in Year 12? (Eco people only unfortunately) I might do cosmology but I could use the lack of 2 units in year 12 to study more for other subjects.

But then again, cosmology is really interesting.

Yep. Philosophy!

Philosophy is that "How did we know the sky isn't green and we're all colourblind" subject, right?

i wanna do cosmology if there is not any hard core math

Probably some similar to physics, e.g.Oscillation of the Sun (and some stars) can be detected with velocities as small as 2 m s–1.
Calculate the change in wavelength that is measured.



Also I understand that there is a Residential component to distinction courses, for example Cosmology there is a trip to telescopes and observatories. How do those work? Is it just like a school camp but just for students doing that course?


EDIT: Also does anyone know what the cosmology Major Project is? The one that takes 8-10 weeks and accounts for like 30% of the mark
