Facts and ideas in modern cosmology

Abstract: A review of the principles of observational testing of cosmological theories is given with a special emphasis on the distinction between observational facts and theoretical hypotheses. A classification of modern cosmological theories and possible observational tests for these theories is presented. The main rival cosmological models are analyzed from the point of view of observational testing of their initial hypothesis. A comparison of modern observational data with theoretical predictions is presented. In pa… Show more

“…One consequence of these results was that the so called galaxy-cluster mismatch could be automatically eliminated by the appropriate analysis. Also other properties like δN/N, directly related to r 0 , suffer from the same consistency problems because the lack of a reference value [9].…”

“…We have discussed in a series of papers [1,21,2,9,23,24] the conceptual problems of the standard correlation analysis and we have introduced the correct correlation analysis that should be applied for the characterization of the statistical properties of irregular as well as regular distributions. Here we briefly review the main results and we introduce the basic concepts of fractal geometry.…”
