cosmology from a largely qualitative endeavor to a precision science with a
standard theory.
Standard cosmology — that is, the Big Bang Theory with its early period
of exponential growth known as inflation — is the prevailing scientific model for our universe, in which the entirety

Yet, the
standard model
of cosmology rests on the assumption that, on the largest scales, these variations are insignificant, and space is homogeneous and isotropic.
A new twist on
standard quantum theory promises not only to rid reality
of its observer problem, but also to answer a host
of unresolved issues in
cosmology, from the workings
of black holes to the nature
of dark energy to why time flows in only one direction.
According to
standard cosmology, the universe should appear much the same whichever way you look; after all, the extreme uniformity
of the universe was one
of the reasons why the inflation hypothesis caught on in the first place.
Although the pattern
of the spots largely matches the random distribution predicted by
standard cosmology, the map does show some unexpected features.
This is a frame from an animation that shows the expansion
of the universe in the
standard «Lambda Cold Dark Matter»
cosmology, which includes dark energy (top left panel red), the new Avera model, that considers the structure
of the universe and eliminates the need for dark energy (top middle panel, blue), and the Einstein - de Sitter
cosmology, the original model without dark energy (top right, green).
The latest study
of the afterglow
of the big bang — the so - called cosmic microwave background radiation — confirms even more precisely the
standard model
