Local void models propose a large area of lower than average density, so they ordinarily make or imply stochastic predictions that can be falsified by astronomical surveys. For example, under a local void model, an unusually low number of nearby galaxies would be expected, so observations indicating

In 2010, Moss et al. analyzed the Hubble Bubble model although without using that name, saying "The suggestion that we occupy a privileged position near the center of a large, nonlinear, and nearly spherical void has recently attracted much attention as an alternative to dark energy." Looking not
