Cosmology in a nutshell + an argument against Lambda = 0 based on the inconsistency of the CMB and supernovae results

Lineweaver, Charles H.

Original · EN

I present several simple figures to illustrate cosmology and structure formation in a nutshell. Then I discuss the following argument: if we assume that OmegaLambda = 0 then the CMB results favor high Omegaₘ while the supernova results favor low Omegaₘ. This large inconsistency is strong evidence for the incorrectness of the OmegaLambda = 0 assumption. Finally I discuss recent CMB results on the slope and normalization of the primordial power spectrum.
