The " axis of evil " is a name given to the apparent correlation between the plane of the Solar System and aspects of the cosmic microwave background (CMB).
Oct 26, 2016 · COSMOLOGISTS called it the axis of evil. Spotted in 2005 in the cosmic microwave background, the all-pervading afterglow of the big bang, the axis was a peculiar alignment of features where...
Jun 29, 2017 · The (Cosmological) Axis of Evil. News. By Paul Sutter. ( space.com-astronomy ) published 29 June 2017. Map showing the tiny variations in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) observed by...
May 8, 2024 · Adding to the infamous cold spot, physicists found a trail of anomalous hot and cold spots stretching out along an axis, dubbed the "Axis of Evil" in a 2005 paper. Even more annoyingly, this axis...
Jul 1, 2011 · Dubbed the “Axis of Evil,” it is as if the universe is being difficult by keeping back one or two pieces of the jigsaw and deliberately preventing researchers from calibrating our weighing...
Jun 2, 2020 · The quadrupole found in the cosmic microwave background - the faint radiation left over from the Big Bang that suffuses the Universe - has been referred to as an "anomaly", a "problem" and the "Axis of Evil".
Apr 11, 2007 · But evidence is growing that the so-called “axis of evil” – a pattern apparently imprinted on the radiation left behind by the big bang – may be real, posing a threat to standard cosmology.
Sep 2, 2009 · What they did next was a PR master stroke: they called their discovery the cosmic “ axis of evil “. What exactly had they seen?
Sep 7, 2016 · Now, one team of cosmologists has used the oldest radiation there is, the afterglow of the big bang, or the cosmic microwave background (CMB), to show that the universe is "isotropic," or the same no matter which way you look: There is no spin axis or any other special direction in space.
Apr 6, 2010 · 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.
