Regardless, my question was about the part of the quote which said: "which we now know as wrong."
What aspect of the cosmological principle, strong equivalence principle, or the universal application of physical law do we now know to be be wrong?
then they noticed that the spin of galaxies is correlated. like one pie in the sky of galaxies tend to spin left, and the next one tends to spin right, and the next one after that left again. as far as I know, its unsolved as to why. some think it might be that the observed galaxies are spinning around something much bigger that we have yet observed, others think its an influence by the cosmic web.
the idea that the universe is the same as everywhere (although an assumption) is very much baked in lots of theories, including the arguments that support dark matter.
Do you have a cite for the galactic spin thing?
