 | 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. |
