SNe observations in a meatball universe with a local void
  We study the impact of cosmic inhomogeneities on the interpretation of
observations. We build an inhomogeneous universe model without dark energy that
can confront supernova data and yet is reasonably well compatible with the
Copernican Principle. Our model combines a relatively small local void, that
gives apparent acceleration at low redshifts, with a meatball model that gives
sizeable lensing (dimming) at high redshifts. Together these two elements,
which focus on different effects of voids on the data, allow the model to mimic
the concordance model.
