Great Paradox in Cosmology – Bjørn Ekeberg & Louis Marmet

„There is a great paradox haunting cosmology. The science relies on a theoretical framework that struggles to fit and make sense of the observations we have but is so entrenched that very few cosmologists want to seriously reconsider it.“

Quote about the paradox in cosmology by Bjørn Ekeberg and Louis Marmet

Bjørn Ekeberg and Louis Marmet co-authored the paper titled “Escaping cosmology’s failing paradigm.” Their collaboration combines Ekeberg’s strengths in philosophical framework critique with Marmet’s expertise in physical and cosmological details. The published text does not allow for a clear sentence-by-sentence attribution, as it represents a genuine co-authorship.

"Today, there is increasing critical attention on some problematic parts of the Standard Model of Cosmology. Dark matter, dark energy and inflation theory are parts of the standard theoretical framework that remain empirically unverified - and where new observations prompt ever more questions. However, little questioning is heard of the many unverifiable core assumptions that make up our model of the universe." Bjørn Ekeberg & Louis Marmet

"The current orthodoxy of cosmology rests on unexamined assumptions that have massive implications for our view of the universe. From the size of the universe to its expansion, does the whole programme fail if one of these assumptions turns out to be wrong?" Bjørn Ekeberg & Louis Marmet

"When faced with discrepancies between theory and observation, cosmologists habitually react by adjusting or adding parameters to fit observations, propose additional hypotheses, or even propose “new physics” and ad hoc solutions that preserve the core assumptions of the existing model."

"What if any of these hidden inferences happen to be fundamentally wrong? [...] Has the current standard model [Cosmology] become orthodoxy because it is very well-founded and proven - as the consensus view would have it? Or is it rather orthodoxy because it’s become ‘paradigm stuck’ - that is, path dependent and unable to generate a viable alternative?" Bjørn Ekeberg & Louis Marmet

"The crux of today's cosmological paradigm is that in order to maintain a mathematically unified theory valid for the entire universe, we must accept that 95 percent of our cosmos is furnished by completely unknown elements and forces for which we have no empirical evidence whatsoever. For a scientist to be confident of this picture requires an exceptional faith in the power of mathematical unification." Bjørn Ekeberg

"As the physicist Sabine Hossenfelder recently pointed out, a key assumption like ‘the cosmological principle’ - that the universe is on average the same in all directions - does not hold up well against observations." Bjørn Ekeberg & Louis Marmet
