Wow way to plagurise the article above almost word for word, and by the way we do exist in a special place in relation to our orbit around the sun. If the Earth was closer in or farther away our planet would be inhospitable, and beside that point the part about the "copernician principle" is alot of bullshit, the article contridicts it'self in two sentences. Copernicus argued that it made more sense mathematically for the earth to rotate around the sun, also the leading theory at the time was'nt scientific at all, it was simply a doctrine cooked up by the prominent religeous leaders of that time. This void theory makes more sense than than the dark matter/energy theory in fact because it does not require us to invent newexotic particles just to prove itself. In my personal opinion the simplest theory has the most merit, and the void theory seems entirely plausible to me.
