Event Description

Do we have a Standard Model of Cosmology that explains all cosmological measurements with six well-specified parameter values? Having recently celebrated the 50th anniversary of the discovery of the CMB, I summarize what we have learned from the CMB (our most powerful cosmological tool) and from combining the CMB with other cosmological data. I offer some thoughts on the consistency of these data.
