The Role of Cosmology in Modern Physics
@article{Schaefer2017TheRO, title={The Role of Cosmology in Modern Physics}, author={Bjoern Malte Schaefer}, journal={Why Trust a Theory?}, year={2017} }
Subject of this article is the relationship between modern cosmology and fundamental physics, in particular general relativity as a theory of gravity on one side, together with its unique application in cosmology, and the formation of structures and their statistics on the other. It summarises arguments for the formulation for a metric theory of gravity and the uniqueness of the construction of general relativity. It discusses symmetry arguments in the construction of Friedmann-Lema\^itre…
