Abstract

We have a well-established standard model for cosmology and prospects for considerable additions from work in progress. I offer a list of elements of the standard model, comments on controversies in the interpretation of the evidence in support of this model, and assessments of the directions extensions of the standard model seem to be taking.

Discussions

• There are many variants of "tired light" models but a common theme of many is that the photons lose energy through repeated scattering with other particles as they travel. If this were the case, it is [stackexchange, 6 points]
