2026-10-14  1 By others on same topic  0 Discussions Create my own version
Our observer location is not specially privileged. In cosmology this assumption allows cosmological isotropy observed around us to be interpreted statistically as cosmological isotropy around other typical observers. It is an assumption about typicality, not a deduction from one observer's sky or from the Einstein field equations alone.
