Inspired by my fascination for the cosmos, … and it’s anomalies.

We know only one universe. We therefore cannot analyse it by comparing it to anything similar. So, in order to understand and to try and make sense of it, so we can describe it, we have to accept certain assumptions about it. These assumptions are called the cosmological principle. In short: on average, on a very, very large scale the universe looks the same (homogenous and isotropic) in all directions, in all regions.

The existence of a repeating structure, like synchronised galaxies or correlations in quasars at different locations in the universe, sometimes with a  distance of over 20 million light years, suggests that there should be a super large-scale structure in the universe. These anomalies violate the cosmological principle.

Both paintings should be hung with a space of 30cm -80cm from each other. But if you hang both painting without space between them, you might notice another anomaly hiding in the cosmos ;-)
