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 ...!!

Even Einstein said that the CC was his greatest blunder, and yet if the supernova data are correct, then it's an unavoidable consequence of the nature of the universe. It evolved from the BB, just like everything else and despite it being distasteful, they have to live with it.
Just like Scotty said, "Yeh canna change the laws of physics!!!!"
Well, you can actually, but don't tell him that!!!
