The very faq you link to uses cautious language. Look at "currently most accepted model" right there in the first question.
If you've followed cosmological history at all, it's been a cascading series of big changes decade after decade.
I'm virtually certain the model of 2030 will vary in deep, significant ways from the model of 2010.
- weichi 17y agoCan you be more specific? What parts of the "hot big bang, cold dark matter, accelerating expansion, geometrically flat, ~14 billion years old" model will be shown to be "deeply wrong"? Do you think that discovering, say, the nature of dark energy, is going to demonstrate that the universe isn't really expanding? That we are going to discover that the universe is really 100 billion years old? That the universe was actually colder and larger in the past?
