ISOTROPIC HOMOGENEITY. “Observations show that the universe is nearly isotropic on very large scales. It is much more difficult to show that the universe is radially homogeneous, that is, independent of the distance from us, or, equivalently, that the universe is isotropic about distant points. This is usually taken as an axiom, since otherwise we would occupy a special position.”
