**''"...The true distribution must either be uniform or increase outward, leaving the observer in a unique position. But the unwelcome supposition of a favoured location '''must be avoided at all costs'''. Therefore, we accept the uniform distribution, and '''assume''' that space is sensibly transparent. Then the data from the surveys are simply and fully accounted for by the energy corrections alone - without the additional postulate of an expanding universe."''

The kinds of universes that would be compatible with the relativity principle and the '''assumption of homogeneity''' have been determined by intricate mathematical reasoning."''
