The observed universe

The universe is isotropic and homogeneous averaged over large scales!

The Cosmological Principle•The hypersurfaces with constant cosmic standard time are maximally symmetric subspaces of the whole of space-time.

•Not only the metric gμν, but all cosmic tensors such as Tμν, are form-invariant with respect to isometries of these subspaces.

Form invariance of gµν under transformation:
