Abstract

Most cosmological models are based on the ‘cosmological principle’ according to which the Universe is homogeneous and isotropic on a certain level, chosen such that the present mean density is of the order of 10−3O±1 g cm−3.

Article Note

The Original paper has been revised and considerably shortend because of information obtained after the symposium concerning recent calculations on the hydrogen-antihydrogen potential, which invalidate conclusions based on earlier computations.
