Extract

In a previous paper (3) the method of conformai transformations was employed to study the behaviour of a universe assuming the perfect cosmological principle, i.e. that apart from local irregularities the general aspect of the universe is the same at all points independent of place and time. To conform with Einstein's general theory an anisotropic cosmological term had to be postulated.
