Cosmological Principle
The Cosmological Principle is a fundamental assumption in cosmology that states the universe is homogeneous and isotropic when viewed on a large scale. This means that, on average, the distribution of matter and energy is uniform throughout the universe, and it looks the same in all directions. This principle simplifies the study of the universe and supports models like the Big Bang theory.
This principle leads to the conclusion that the laws of physics are the same everywhere in the universe. It implies that observations made from Earth can be generalized to other regions of the universe, allowing scientists to make predictions about cosmic phenomena.
