The Cosmological Standard Model, its Tensions, and New Physics - Lecture 5

Explore a comprehensive lecture from the 3rd IAGRG School on Gravitation and Cosmology that delves into the Cosmological Standard Model, examining its inherent tensions and potential implications for new physics. Learn from expert physicist Florian Niedermann during this 90-minute session, which forms part of an intensive two-week program designed for graduate students and researchers in cosmology. Gain advanced insights into modern cosmological theories, observational techniques, and current challenges in the field, including discussions on dark matter, dark energy, and the universe's fundamental parameters. Understand how recent observational methods like Cosmic Microwave Background measurements, Large-Scale Structure Surveys, and Gravitational Lensing have enhanced our understanding of universal structures and dynamics, while also revealing tensions that may point toward new physical phenomena.
