You bring up an excellent question. Voids are common, seen in all directions, but this is a void of unprecedented size. I don't know that the abnormal size is quite enough to violate the cosmological principle. I'm more interested in its impact on cosmological parameters derived from power spectrum analysis.

Absolutely lovely.
Wow. Sure beats desert for breakfast, desert for lunch, desert for dinner.
Mmmm. Dessert for dinner.
I may not need desert, but now I need dessert. Aargh!
Lovely, just lovely. I'm not there yet, but am getting closer to the beach at work.
Which school are you teaching at anyway?
Hey Dr. will, haven't commented in a while, but I saw this:

and thought of you immeaditely. does this mean the cosmological principle is wrong?
Hi, Brian! Hope you had a great summer!
