“On the most usual assumption, the universe is homogeneous on the large scale, i.e. down to regions containing each an appreciable number of nebulae. The homogeneity assumption may then be put in the form: An observer situated in a nebula and moving with the nebula will observe the same properties of the universe as any other similarly situated observer at any time.” MayMovingFormScienceUniverseNumbersPropertyScalesObservationAssumptionRegionsUsualObserversContainingLarge ScaleHomogeneousHomogeneityNebula Author:Hermann Bondi
“Once the idea of a supernaturalistic creation is fully overcome, the idea returns that the universe must be self-organizing and therefore composed of self-moving parts.
