While the holy grail of #InhomogeneousCosmology is to explain #DarkEnergy as an epiphenomenon of the cosmologically recent formation epoch of #CosmicVoids and other #LargeScaleStructure, #YonadavBarryGinat and #PedroGFerreira have gone for a more modest goal: keeping the #CosmologicalConstant but tacking on void formation to get a sort-of #BeyondLCDM inhomogeneous model that better matches #DES and #DESI results [1].

We use #CosmicVoids in [1][2], which in N-body sims are traced by low num-densities of particles => high noise. Full #Maneage controls + fixed seed rng's. We still have intramachine + (higher) intermachine randomness. Statistical upper limits to results OK. But still untraced sources of randomness.

Any clues for remaining randomness [2]?

#CosmicVoids should be detectable via their #GravitationalLensing effects.
Check this starting with a floppy-disk sized source snapshot [1].
#Reproducibility is via the #Maneage template of shell+make files.
