    It’s more so about scale. If you zoomed out far enough the CMBR is homogeneous. You can zoom in to about anything and it’ll not be homogeneous.

      This map is covers the entire observable universe, it’s as zoomed out as it can go and it looks pretty rough in patches.

      Edit: Oh, unless by zoomed out you mean beyond the observable

        Yup, the observable universe shouldn’t be anything special necessarily. That is the universe should to on beyond it.

          But the only assumptions we can make about the unobserved universe comes from particle/quantum physics, which we explore in an idealised form

            There’s some gravitational drag that’s been observed that would really only make sense if the matter was being dragged by something massive beyond the observable universe.
