The theory of cosmology assumes that on large scales, the structure in the universe is uniform no matter where you look. Maps of structure, like the ones shown in Figure 23.3 support this assumption. Does the presence of large masses like the Great Attractor violate this principle? Explain your answer.
Identify the two problems of cosmology that are solved by inflation.
