Abstract

Based on preliminary results from the Causal Fermion Systems framework regarding the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe, I propose a novel story line for the universe that would, if correct, resolve a number of problems in cosmology. First and foremost, the here-presented arguments suggest to identify cold dark matter as third generation (anti-)neutrino mass-eigenstates ν₃. Furthermore, the proposal suggests a new look at the problem of initial conditions. Last but not least, the proposal also provides a new angle on the cosmological constant.
