Status of the LambdaCDM theory: supporting evidence and anomalies
P. J. E. Peebles
TL;DR
The LambdaCDM model is well-supported by evidence but has unresolved anomalies, which could lead to improved theories in cosmology.
Contribution
This paper reviews the supporting evidence and highlights the anomalies in the LambdaCDM model, emphasizing its current status and future prospects.
Findings
LambdaCDM passes rigorous tests confirming its validity
Several anomalies remain unexplained within the model
Open questions suggest directions for future research
Abstract
The standard LambdaCDM cosmology passes demanding tests that establish it as a good approximation to reality. It is incomplete, with open questions and anomalies, but the same is true of all our physical theories. The anomalies in the standard cosmology might guide us to an even better theory. It has happened before.
