Welcome to Cosmos, a free academic community of scholars, researchers, and students!
CosmosWiki was founded on 9 December 2007 at 17:43 UTC+02 (15:43 UTC) by NSK Nikolaos S. Karastathis, http://karastathis.org/
Cosmos is not a university.

Joining Cosmos
To join Cosmos, you must be 24 years old or older. If you are younger, we cannot allow you to participate in our community. The reason for this limitation is to protect the community from students who may be undeveloped or irresponsible, but also to protect students whose attention could be diverted away from their real studies if they participated in Cosmos.
To join Cosmos, simply get a user name and start contributing. We would love to know your real name, but you do not need to tell us if you feel you need privacy. If you have questions just ask, or send an email to nsk@karastathis.org
