3 What We Know * The matter density is dominated by cold dark matter, which we know nothing about! The baryon asymmetry arises in the GUT or EWK era through B, CP, and equilibrium violation (Sakharov s ingredients), EWK doesn t seem to work.gut scenarios are not simple! The perturbations arise from inflationary dynamics, which depends on particle physics at high energies, which we know nothing about! The universe is dominated by a cosmological term (dark energy, funny energy, quintessence, polenta, cosmological constant, cosmo-illogical constant,.), which we know less than nothing about! * It ain t what you don t know, it s what you know that ain t so!

4 ΛCDM We re almost free, I just felt the first drops of rain

5 Do we have concordance- a standard cosmological model?* Radiation Neutrinos Dark matter Dark baryons Dark energy Inflation Baryo/leptogenesis Hypotheses? Saving the appearances? Epicycles? * Do we want one? The goal is not concordance, but correctness!

6 If I had been present at creation, I would have suggested a simpler scheme. - Alfonse the Wise

9 Epicycle I Inflation Inflation, as a whole, can be divided into three parts 1. Beginning eternal inflation, wave function of the universe, did the universe have a beginning???? 2. Middle density perturbations, gravitational waves, (particle production in the expanding universe) 3. End defrosting, heating, preheating, reheating, baryogenesis, phase transitions, dark matter, (particle production in the expanding universe)

10 Epicycle II Dark matter What is dark matter? Font & Navarro Frenk, White,... In questions like this, truth is only to be had by laying together many variations of error. -- Virginia Wolf A Room of Ones Own

11 Epicycle III Dark Energy What is the nature of dark energy In questions like this, truth is only to be had by laying together many variations of error. -- Virginia Wolf A Room of Ones Own

19 Einstein s Biggest Blunder? 1917 Einstein proposes cosmological constant 1929 Hubble discovers Expansion of the universe 1934 Einstein calls it my biggest blunder 1998 Astronomers find evidence for it

20 Λ Field equation: R g R g GT 1 µν 2 µν Λ µν = 8π µν Perfect fluid stress tensor: T µ ν = diag ρ, p, p, p ( ) I found it very ugly indeed that the field law of gravitation should be composed of two logically independent terms connected by addition. About the justification of such feelings concerning logical simplicity it is difficult to argue. I cannot help to feel it strongly and I am unable to believe that such an ugly thing should be realized in nature. Einstein in a letter to Lemaitre, Sept. 26, 1947 Modern view: It belongs on the right-hand side, and has many contributions.
