Isn’t it possible that some of the inconsistencies/things that don’t add up and that form the so-called “crisis of cosmology,” are not to be attributed to new forces/new particles/profound laws of physics and unified models that elude us, but simply to the fact that on a large scale (at least, one the large scales that we can observe) the universe is less uniform and homogeneous than assumed?
Because maybe it is truly, “perfectly” uniforme and homogeneous only at scale > 45 b light years, while at smaller scales there are still some relevant disomogeneity.
