Cosmology

The bridge from Applicability Diagnostics to the public debate around dark matter and dark energy.

Dark matter, dark energy, and model assumptions

The cosmology branch of the programme asks whether the standard large-scale smoothing assumptions of ΛCDM remain licensed in the regimes where the dark sector is inferred.

Book 3 launch focus: Der blinde Fleck der Kosmologie presents this question for a broader German-speaking audience: what if the most successful cosmological model also hides a structural blind spot?

Key themes include FLRW homogenisation, cosmic expansion, galaxy rotation, lensing, structure formation, backreaction, and the methodological status of the dark sector.
