Black holes and soccer balls don't have much in common, but if black holes are curved when kicked, it might say something deep about the cosmos.

A re-examination of the distribution of powerful space explosions suggests that the Hercules-Corona Borealis Great Wall, a ...

This notion of mediocrity has been baked into cosmology, in the form of the “cosmological principle.” Its gist is that the universe is basically the same everywhere we look—homogenized like ...

Finding evidence of anomalies in the Cosmological Principle could have profound implications for our current understanding of the universe. "The Cosmological Principle is like an ultimate kind of ...

Furthermore, the Big Ring challenges the Cosmological Principle, as did the Giant Arc previously. And if the Big Ring and the Giant Arc together form a still larger structure then the challenge to ...

The idea that the universe is homogenous and looks the same in every direction is built into the core of cosmology in the form of the Cosmological Principle. When we actually observe the universe ...

But according to the cosmological principle, the universe should be roughly homogeneous on large scales. The commonly accepted upper limit for such structures is about 370 megaparsecs (roughly 1.2 ...

This, Verde explains, is what scientists call the "cosmological principle"—and it includes the tenet that the universe is statistically uniform and the same when measured in different directions.

One of these is the cosmological principle, which states that, on a large scale, the universe is homogeneous (the same everywhere) and isotropic (the same in all directions). Combined with ...
