Since light takes so long to travel why does universe look homoge

Asked by [email protected]

The universe looks homogeneous on large scales because of the smoothing effects of cosmic inflation and the statistical averaging of large-scale structures. Despite the finite speed of light, the observations of the CMB and large-scale structure consistently support this homogeneity, aligning with the cosmological principle that underlies modern cosmology.
