    In this brief note we aim to provide, through a well known class of singular densities in harmonic analysis, a simple approach to the fact that the homogeneity of the universe on scales of the order of a hundred millions light years is completely compatible with the fine-scale condensation of matter and energy. We give precise and quantitative definitions of homogeneity and isotropy on large scales. Then we show that Muckenhoupt densities have the ingredients required to a model for the large-scale homogeneity and the fine-scale condensation of the universe. In particular, these densities can take locally infinitely large values (black holes) and at once, in the large scales they are independent of the location. We also show some locally singular densities satisfying the large scale isotropy property.Comment: 9 pages, 1 figure. We add a comment on page 5 and two references.
