Abstract

Cosmological observables are used to construct cosmological models and cosmological models are used to interpert cosmological observations. Statements that the expansion of the Universe is accelerating or that dark energy exists are made within the framework of a particular cosmological model. If the cosmological model is inappropriate or incomplete, the interpretation of the observations may be wrong. In particular, I will discuss the possibility that the interpretation of observations within the framework of a homogeneous cosmological model may be inadequate and lead to mistaken conclusion that the universe is accelerating and dark energy exists.
