What is the Standard Cosmological Model?
arXiv:2105.02903
Abstract
Reports of "cosmology in crisis" are in vogue, but as Mark Twain said, "the report of my death was an exaggeration". We explore what we might actually mean by the standard cosmological model, how tensions - or their apparent resolutions - might arise from too narrow a view, and why looking at the big picture is so essential. This is based on the seminar "All Cosmology, All the Time".
