Description |
The standard LCDM cosmological model is founded on the assumption of homogeneity or quasi-homogeneity of the energy-density of the Universe. However, in the era of ''precision'' cosmology which is currently claimed to be our new deal, the effect of the observed inhomogeneities, i.e. the large scale structures, cannot be ignored. Therefore, inhomogeneous cosmology using exact solutions of Einstein's equations has become a rapidly expanding field of research. I will give an update of its most recent developments and an overview of its future goals. |
