Description: Conventional wisdom says that the formation of large-scale structures in cosmology follows from the evolution of density perturbations under the combined effect of gravitation and cosmic expansion. We survey here the reasons why this framework fails to hold in primordial cosmology, due to the severe limitations placed on the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) metric, the continuity hypothesis and the standard equations of fluid flows. We insist that understanding primordial cosmology must rely instead on a complex dynamics model of evolving dimensional fluctuations, conjectured to come into play far above the electroweak scale. A key outcome of this model is the universal generation of topological defects (vortices) and condensates emerging from the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation.
