I think this principle (as much as its less perfect version) is totally contradictory to commons sense. Therefore I am missing the big lot of criticism towards such ideas! Sorry for not being able to provide that kind of information myself.

As a layman, I ask myself whether, according to a unified theory of everything (if such a beast can be created), is this perfect principle not true? Of course the World is neither homogeneous (the mass distribution is very inhomogeneous, compare Earth to interstellar space) nor isotropic (try dropping an apple - it knows where to go!). What is (according to common thinking) homogeneous and isotropic are the regularities, the basic laws. These laws may have changed over time, but if thay can be formulated in a form where they haven't, couldn't we say that the world is homogenous and isotropic in time as well as in space?-- Noe ( talk) 14:58, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
Wasn't the principle a hypothesis by Hoyle as the basis for his Steady State cosmology? Surely that preceded chaotic inflation by a long way, I think this article needs checking by someone who knows the history of the hypothesis. George Dishman ( talk) 19:02, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
