  In a recent Foundations of Physics paper [5] by the current author it was
shown that, when the self-force problem of classical electrodynamics is
properly solved, it becomes a plausible ontology underlying the statistical
description of quantum mechanics. In the current paper we extend this result,
showing that ordinary matter, thus represented, possibly suffices in explaining
the outstanding observations currently requiring for this task the contrived
notions of dark-matter, dark-energy and inflation. The single mandatory `fix'
to classical electrodynamics, demystifying both very small and very large scale
physics, should be contrasted with other ad hoc solutions to either problems.
Instrumental to our cosmological model is scale covariance (and `spontaneous
breaking' thereof), a formal symmetry of classical electrodynamics treated on
equal footing with its Poincare covariance, which is incompatible with the
(absolute) metrical attributes of the GR metric tensor.
