Today’s standard model of cosmology was form ulated in its present form 25 years ago. The model can describe the evolution of the Universe over its entire 14-billion-year history, starting from the time of cosmic inflation, approximately 10-33 seconds after the bang. One troubling aspect of the standard cosmological model it that it posits that 95% of the present mass and energy in the universe is “dark.” In addition, a new generation of space telescopes and terrestrial experiments is interrogating the model with unprecedented precision. Have we found the threads that will lead to unravelling of our standard cosmological model?
