"If you zoomed out on the universe, well beyond the level of planets, stars or
galaxies, you would eventually see a vast, evenly speckled expanse with no
notable features. At least, that has been the conventional view.

The principle that everything looks the same everywhere is a fundamental pillar
of the standard model of cosmology, which aims to explain the big bang and how
the universe has evolved in the 13.7bn years since.

But this week a meeting of some of the world’s leading cosmologists will
convene at London’s Royal Society to ask the question: what if this basic
assumption is wrong?"
