DESCRIPTION:The current cosmological model rests on Einstein's theory of g
 eneral\nrelativity. In order for it to be consistent with large-scale stru
 cture\ndata\, the existence of cosmologically relevant physical processes 
 need\nto be postulated: inflation\, cold dark matter particles and dark en
 ergy.\nEach of these is not well understood\, but assuming the resulting\n
 mathematical "LCDM" description is a representation of  cosmological\nreal
 ity\, this representation can be tested in a different regime\, namely\non
  the scales of the Local Volume of galaxies down to individual\ngalaxies. 
 It is found that each test which has been designed shows the\nLCDM descrip
 tion to fail such that the LCDM model needs to be discarded.\nIn particula
 r\, the Dual-Dwarf-Galaxy Theorem\, which must be true in the\nstandard mo
 del\, is falsified. The data suggest a different cosmological\nmodel\, but
  a definite final description is yet to be found.\n
