Key observational tests of the modern cosmology

Popular Physics 2007-05-23 v3

Abstract

Over the last decade, cosmological observations have attained a level of precision which allows for detailed comparison with theoretical predictions. In this paper, we briefly review some studies of the current and prospected constraints imposed by measurements of the cosmic microwave background radiation, of the mass and of the expansion of the Universe.
