According to a tenet scientists call the cosmological principle, our place in space is in no way exceptional. But recent observations could overturn this long-held assumption ...

A study published in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics (JCAP) presents a methodology to test the assumption of cosmic homogeneity and isotropy, known as the Cosmological Principle ...

The cosmological principle is the foundation of modern cosmology and has been confirmed many times by observations and computer models. It states that the universe looks the same from every location ...

In the paper, author considers a new method for constructing the quasi-equilibrium thermodynamics of a system of ...

Thus, some astronomers believe that the challenge of the cosmological principle is a statistical problem, while others believe that the cosmological principle needs to be reconsidered.

“The cosmological principle is like an ultimate kind of statement of humility,” explains James Adam, astrophysicist at the University of the Western Cape, Cape Town, South Africa, and lead ...

The team behind new research on the topic suggests that measuring whether gravitational waves from black hole mergers are right- or left-handed can tell us if the Cosmological Principle — an ...

Is it possible to understand the Universe without understanding the largest structures that reside in it? In principle, not ...

A new study presents a methodology to test the assumption of cosmic homogeneity and isotropy, known as the Cosmological Principle, by leveraging weak gravitational lensing in astronomical images ...

Some physicists think our reality is a kind of cosmic hologram, with space, time, and gravity as manifestations of a ...
