Calculation of distances in cosmological models with small-scale inhomogeneities and their use in observational cosmology: a review
The Universe is not completely homogeneous. Even if it is sufficiently so on large scales, it is very inhomogeneous at small scales, and this has an effect on light propagation, so that the distance as a function of redshift, which in many cases is defined via light propagation, can differ from the...
