“The largest-ever survey of physicists found they disagree on some of science’s greatest questions.”
CORROBORATED
Multiple independent sources confirm the existence of a large-scale survey of physicists showing a lack of consensus on major questions. One source mentions a global survey of 15,000 respondents, and another discusses the lack of consensus on quantum interpretations among participants.

“The Milky Way is embedded within a flattened ‘sheet’ of matter that extends tens of millions of lightyears”

“Physicists find evidence that the universe isn't perfectly uniform”
CORROBORATED
Two separate web sources explicitly state that the universe is not perfectly uniform/smooth. One mentions a new series of papers hinting at this, and another explains that quantum inflation is the reason the universe isn't perfectly smooth today. While Wikipedia notes uniformity at the largest scales, the claim specifically addresses the lack of 'perfect' uniformity, which is supported by the other sources.
