What is Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is a cancer that starts in white blood cells called lymphocytes. It is also called DLBCL. It usually grows in lymph nodes -- the pea-sized glands in your neck, groin, armpits, and elsewhere that are part of your immune system.
Can you please give me the definitions of homogeneity and isotropy in astronomy terms? This is a good question, because these concepts are a bit subtle. Homogeneous is defined as the same in all locations while isotropic means the same in all directions. Imagine that the whole universe is an infinitely large field with one perfectly symmetrical hill, which you are seated atop. Look around: you see an isotropic universe, since the hill is equally green and equally steep in all directions. But the universe is not homogeneous: it has a hill! These concepts are important because most modern cosmology is based on the cosmological principle, the assumption that, on large scales, the universe is both homogeneous and isotropic.
Inflation is the mysterious force that blew up the scale of the infant universe from sub-microscopic to gargantuan in a fraction of a second. In 1980, to explain the conditions observed in the universe, astrophysicist Alan Guth proposed cosmic inflation. The term inflation refers to the explosively rapid expansion of space-time that occurred a tiny fraction of a second after the Big Bang. In another tiny fraction of a second, inflation slowed to a more leisurely expansion that continues to this day and is accelerating.
