Status of the LambdaCDM theory: supporting evidence and anomalies

Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics 2024-05-29 v1

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.
