Our model of the universe has been falsified

The Universe violates the perfect cosmological principle
https://bigthink.com/starts-with-a-bang/...principle/

KEY POINTS: One of the great scientific revolutions began with Copernicus, who opined that we occupied no special place in the Universe. As our view of the Universe expanded, we developed the cosmological principle: that the Earth, Sun, and even Milky Way occupied no special place in the cosmos. Maybe, as Fred Hoyle, Hermann Bondi, and Tommy Gold suggested, we also occupy no special "time" in the Universe, and that the Universe truly never changes. But can that be true? (MORE - details)

INTRO: New data from the Dark Energy Survey and South Pole Telescope suggest that the universe is less ‘clumpy’ than the standard cosmological model predicts. This has triggered speculation about new forces and insights into the nature of dark matter and dark energy. But this entire project is deeply misguided. We already have robust observations contradicting the standard cosmological model, showing that the universe is in fact more, not less, ‘clumpy’ than we thought. It’s about time the cosmology community faced these results, argue Pavel Kroupa and Moritz Haslbauer.

EXCERPT: The cosmology community is already speculating on the back of these results, even though they are not statistically significant, imagining new forces and theories about the nature of dark matter and dark energy. But these new findings, while calling for tweaks in the standard cosmological model, fly in the face of a series of more robust observations that suggest that the standard cosmological model is not fit for purpose. Dark matter and dark energy are fictions with no empirical backing, and range of recent observations, including by the James Webb Telescope, are increasingly showing to anyone willing to see that the universe doesn’t look or behave the way the standard cosmological model predicts. It’s about time the cosmology community gave up on this theory rather than digging itself into a deeper hole filled with speculation and fantasy... (MORE - details)
