Abstract
The current Standard Model of Cosmology (SMC) is based primarily upon two incompatible and incomplete theoretical models: the Standard Model of Particle Physics, which describes the physics of the very small in terms of quantum mechanics and the General Theory of Relativity, which describes the physics of the very large in terms of classical mechanics. In addition, the SMC makes several additional assumptions involving the homogeneous and isotropic nature of the universe and two unknown entities named dark matter and dark energy. These present serious problems for the SMC.
