Y'know;
Apart from the message contained in this paper about how the foundations (Cosmological Principles) are themselves, continually under scrutiny and review, I was amazed about the possibility that mainstream scientists could seriously entertain the thought that we could possibly "occupy a privileged position near the centre of a large, nonlinear, and nearly spherical void".
Goodness me !! Copernicus' model was published in 1543 and yet, 467 years later, science is still wrangling with an 'Earth-centric privileged position' model!
There must be a lot of scientific types lobbying about this view for these guys to have been bothered enough to produce a serious 20 pager on it !! Good on these guys for 'getting over it - and on with it'.
Goes to show how distasteful the concept of 'Dark Energy' really is - even to scientists! I'm glad I'm not alone.
Having admitted this now, I'm also determined to understand & get more of it, in order to come to terms with the bizarre-ness of the concept (and 'get on with it').
The spherical void thing really is extreme, though.
Star Trek Stuff !!
Boldly going .... tah .. dah ...!!
Cheers
