What If the Universe Isn't Uniform?

The video discusses the cosmological principle, which posits that the universe is uniform in all directions. It explores the implications if this principle were not true, such as limitations in understanding the universe. Evidence supporting the principle includes the cosmic microwave background and galaxy distribution. However, some studies challenge this principle, suggesting anisotropy in the universe. Ongoing research continues to test these assumptions, emphasizing the importance of questioning even well-established concepts.
