cosmological principle

In astronomy, hypothesis that the universe appears the same on the large scale from any point; that is, that the density, temperature, and other properties of matter are on average the same everywhere. One consequence of the principle is that the expansion of the universe has no centre; all galaxies are moving away from one another.
