No one is saying that, and if the cosmological principle falls, it does not imply that in the least. It just means we need to revisit our assumptions about things like hyperinflation, dark matter, etc. Even more exciting, it may mean we need to look for the remnants of a force active during the initial inflation of the universe, that can account for the non-uniformity of matter's distribution.
- rich_sasha 5y agoHmm, but if the principle comes with a model-dependent length scale, that experimentally looks wrong, why should I discard the principle when it might as well be an incomplete model? Or frankly inaccurate estimation, my understanding is that it is extremely hard to actually sully simulate the lambda-CDM model from Big Bang.
