== History ==

The theory of cold dark matter was originally published in 1982 by [[Jim Peebles|James Peebles]];<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Peebles|first1=P. J.

A review article in 1984 by Blumenthal, [[Sandra Moore Faber]], Primack, and [[Martin Rees]] developed the details of the theory.<ref>{{cite journal
