Axis of evil (cosmology) - Wikipedia
The "axis of evil" is a name given to an unsubstantiated correlation between the plane of the Solar System and aspects of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). It gives the plane of the Solar System and hence the location of Earth a greater significance than might be expected by chance – a result which has been claimed to be evidence of a ...
The (Cosmological) Axis of Evil - Space.com
2017年6月29日 · The cosmic microwave background (CMB) is a relic of the very early universe. Released when the cosmos was barely 300,000 years old, that light has been traveling the great...
Why isn't this anomaly in the CMB taken more seriously?
2019年10月1日 · Cosmologists have analyzed the phenomenon and are certain that these photons are a relic from the earliest days of the universe. They are called the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). On average, the CMB radiation we receive is the same from all directions, suggesting that the Universe is on average the same in all directions.
Abstract: The cosmic microwave background (CMB) is the thermal radiation due to the time of recombination. The temperature variations on very large angular scales observed by WMAP and Planck are both larger than expected (there appears the CMB axis of evil) and, contrary to smaller-scale fluctuations, aligned with each other.
Planck shows almost perfect cosmos – plus axis of evil
2013年3月21日 · The best map yet of the cosmic microwave background, from ESA's Planck satellite, confirms our view of the early universe but strange anomalies remain
What is the cosmic "Axis of Evil" problem? - Physics Stack Exchange
The "axis of evil" is a peculiar alignment between the large angular scale properties of the cosmic microwave background and a number of other features in the large scale structure of the local Universe.
The CMB Axis of Evil and the Nature of Randomness - The …
2015年11月1日 · The CMB preferred axis is considered troubling (and thus “evil”) to astronomers because it appears to contradict important assumptions about the universe, including the Copernican Principle. This principle states that our position and orientation in the universe are not “special” in a certain sense.
The universe lines up along the 'axis of evil'. Coincidence?
2016年10月26日 · From the rotation of galaxies to cosmic expansion everything points in one direction. If only we knew why. COSMOLOGISTS called it the axis of evil. Spotted in 2005 in the cosmic microwave...
The axis of evil – a polarization perspective - Oxford Academic
2010年4月6日 · We search for an unusual alignment of the preferred axes of the quadrupole and octopole, the so-called axis of evil, in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature and polarization data from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe. We use the part of the polarization map which is uncorrelated with the temperature map as a statistically ...
