Anomalies in Physical Cosmology
arXiv:2208.05018 · doi:10.1016/j.aop.2022.169159
Abstract
The CDM cosmology passes demanding tests that establish it as a good approximation to reality. The theory is incomplete, of course, and open issues are being examined in active research programs. I offer a review of less widely discussed anomalies that might also point to hints to a still better cosmological theory if more closely examined.
