2 Introduction: a homogeneous or fractal universe? Usual assumption: the Universe is homogeneous and isotropic on large scales
3 Introduction: a homogeneous or fractal universe? Usual assumption: the Universe is homogeneous and isotropic on large scales Homogeneous regime is not realised on small scales, due to the form of the spectrum of matter perturbations and to their evolution via gravitational collapse.
4 Introduction: a homogeneous or fractal universe? Usual assumption: the Universe is homogeneous and isotropic on large scales Homogeneous regime is not realised on small scales, due to the form of the spectrum of matter perturbations and to their evolution via gravitational collapse. The primordial spectrum of metric perturbations is predicted to be almost scale-invariant by inflation, still expect some level of inhomogeneities
