Encyclopedia > Perfect Cosmological Principle

The Perfect Cosmological Principle is an extension of the Cosmological Principle stating that the Universe is not only homogeneous and isotropic in space, but also in time. It is the principle underpinning steady-state theory The Cosmological Principle is a principle invoked in cosmology that severely restricts the large variety of possible cosmological theories: On large scales, the Universe is homogeneous and isotropic. ... Look up Homogeneous in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ... Isotropic means independent of direction. Isotropic radiation has the same intensity regardless of the direction of measurement, and an isotropic field exerts the same action regardless of how the test particle is oriented. ... For alternative meanings see steady state (disambiguation). ...

Nevertheless, such a principle is entirely valid only for a certain cosmological “model”, those corresponding to a homogeneous and isotropic universe, in which the study of the space-time on medium and large scale, can legitimately leave out of consideration possible dishomogeneities and non-uniformity on a small and local scale.
A “perfect Cosmological principle”, a radicalization of the Cosmological principle, claims that all the magnitudes and properties of the universe should be identical if observed not only in whatever spatial point, but also in whatever instant of time.
A perfect Cosmological principle would ask that the expansion of the universe were counter-balanced by the continual creation of new matter and energy, in a way that assures the constancy in time of the global parameters of the universe, such as its overall structure or the distribution of the matter it contains.
