Definition
The assumption that the universe is homogeneous and isotropic on large scales, meaning it looks the same in all directions and at all locations when averaged over sufficiently large volumes. This principle underlies modern cosmological models.
Etymology
From Greek 'kosmos' (order/universe) and Latin 'principium' (foundation). The principle was formalized in the 1930s by cosmologists like Howard Robertson and Arthur Walker as they developed mathematical descriptions of expanding universe models.
Kelly Says
The cosmological principle is like assuming that if you took a giant cosmic cookie cutter and sampled the universe at random locations, each sample would contain roughly the same mix of galaxies, dark matter, and empty space! This seemingly simple assumption allows us to apply physics laws everywhere in the universe and make sense of cosmic evolution.
