cosmology, read all the papers in the arxiv, and tell me if you know your ass from
your elbow.

Mainstream cosmology is the scientific study of the origin, evolution, and structure of the universe. It is based on the laws of physics and uses observations and data from various sources, such as telescopes and satellites, to understand the fundamental nature of the universe.
Mainstream cosmology is based on the scientific method, which involves making observations, forming hypotheses, and testing them through experiments and data analysis. Other cosmological theories, such as religious or philosophical beliefs, may not be based on empirical evidence and cannot be tested scientifically.
There are several pieces of evidence that support mainstream cosmology, including the cosmic microwave background radiation, the abundance of light elements in the universe, and the expansion of the universe. These observations and data are consistent with the predictions of mainstream cosmological theories.
Mainstream cosmology explains the origins of the universe through the Big Bang theory, which states that the universe began as a singularity and has been expanding and evolving ever since. This theory is supported by various observations, such as the cosmic microwave background radiation and the abundance of light elements in the universe.
Some current areas of research in mainstream cosmology include studying dark matter and dark energy, investigating the nature of the early universe, and understanding the large-scale structure of the universe. Scientists are also exploring the possibility of a multiverse and the ultimate fate of the universe.
