Quantum gravity model explains universe's homogeneity

phys.org

A new theoretical model suggests a quantum gravitational mechanism could explain the universe's remarkable homogeneity. Researchers propose that modifications to loop quantum cosmology, specifically the mLQC-I model, naturally suppress early directional irregularities, forcing the universe to become smooth and isotropic after a quantum bounce. This mechanism, driven by quantum geometry effects, offers a way for a symmetric universe to emerge from a potentially uneven beginning, bridging quantum gravity theories with cosmological observations.
