"They have found a simple explanation for the observed fact the universe on large scales looks the same to us left and right, up and down -- a seemingly obvious and natural condition -- that in fact has defied explanation for decades."

Theory, yes. Observed, no. Cosmological theories depend on the axiom that the universe is isomorphic at large scales. But astronomers keep finding bigger and bigger structures: galactic clusters, superclusters, super-superclusters. And voids -- regions 100MLY wide that are almost totally empty.

The author is working from old assumptions and outdated theories.

There was a repeating structure model from some French astronomers a few months ago. A kind of cell structure that can be found from existing deep space observational date using crystallographic analysis techniques.
