dc.description.abstractThe central aim of this thesis is to consider aspects of the spherically symmetric Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi (LTB) solution as a model of the post-decoupling universe. To do this comprehensively is a massive task and is not our aim here. Indeed, far from it, we will concentrate on select instances of this programme and attempt in some places to indicate possibilities for further study. There are many solutions of the EFE which satisfy what we consider to be 'reasonable criteria' for a cosmology and others that do not. The LTB solution may be accepted as a reasonable cosmological model because ■ It allows non-empty solutions. ■ It allows expanding solutions. ■ It has a homogeneous and isotropic limit. ■ It allows for inhomogeneity.en_ZA
