New Evidence Against the Standard Model of Cosmology
&gt; It increasingly looks like we live in a region in the universe that happens to have a significantly lower density than the average in the visible universe. This area of underdensity which we live in has been called the “local hole”<p>that sounds really weird, if the cosmological principle is invalidated, does that mean that we have to reject the Copernican principle as well? the text seems to imply that there is something &quot;special&quot; about our location in the universe.
