Abstract
We here study one of the fundamental issues in cosmology: To what extent a certain cosmological model traces the real history of the Universe. This significant problem has been raised and studied for a long time and it is often called the “model-fitting problem in cosmology” or the “averaging problem in cosmology” [1]. We have not yet reached a satisfactory understanding of this issue.
