Propositions accompanying the thesis
“The Cosmic Ballet: spinning in the web”
1. The definition of cosmic web is crucial when dealing with weak signals. —(Chapters 2, 3 and 4)
2. To infer significant statistical results, it is mandatory to characterise the differences that arise from filament identification methods — (Chapters 2 and 3)
3. The dependence of magnitude and orientation of halo spin with the web environment are likely manifestations of the same physical processes. — (Chapter 4)
4. The alignment of galaxies with their host filaments will be a novel probe to measure the shape and orientation of dark matter haloes. — (Chapter 3) 5. Given the increasing importance of the spin-transition mass, its physical origin
should be better understood. — (Chapters 2,3 and 4)
6. Galaxy spin alignment with its host filament spine can be developed as a potential probe to explore the early Universe and also cosmology.
7. All filaments are equal, but some filaments are more equal than others. — (Chapters 2, 3 and 4)
8. Data visualisation courses should be made mandatory for students dealing with big-data.
9. "There is a very good app to get accurate predictions on Estonian weather, it is called a window, look outside!” — Rain Kipper.
The Dutch have more words for bad weather than Inuits have for snow and Indians have for Sun. —adapted from the Survival guide to the Dutch
10. “One mind less, one world less.” — George Orwell, in A Hanging.
11. A person who is always asking ‘Am I the right person to do it?’ will be ineffective.
They must shut their eyes and think of the task than about what they deserve. — G H Hardy, adapted from A Mathematician's Apology.
