An oppositeness in the cosmology: Distribution of the gamma ray bursts and the cosmological principle
Year: 2019
Type: article
Abstract: The Cosmological Principle is the assumption that the universe is spatially homogeneous and isotropic on the large‐scale average. In 1998, the author, together with his two colleagues, demonstrated that the BATSE's short gamma ray bursts are not distributed isotropically in the sky. This claim was then followed by other papers confirming both the existence of anisotropies in the angular distribution of bursts and the existence of huge Gpc structures in the spatial distribution. These observational facts are in contradiction with the Cosmological Principle because the large‐scale average can hardly be provided. The aim of this study is to survey these publications.
