"Challenging the Conventional View: Cosmologists Reevaluate the Universe"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by The Guardian
A meeting of leading cosmologists is challenging the conventional view of the universe, questioning the fundamental assumption that everything looks the same everywhere. Recent astronomical observations have raised doubts about the standard model of cosmology, with findings suggesting potential lopsidedness, varying expansion rates, and cosmic megastructures. While some scientists believe these anomalies could undermine standard theories, others argue that the data may not be compelling enough to do so. The conference aims to foster robust debate and exploration of where the standard model may break down.
