This paper discusses the disordering of the principle of cosmology on a small scale, i.e. the possibility of interpreting the observational data of type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) through the inhomogeneity and anisotropy of the Universe. The expansion of the Universe may appear to be accelerating due to “dark flows”, changes in the wavelength of light passing through “voids” and clusters, or anisotropy. Different sets of cosmological data are also considered without the need for a dark energy component.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
