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".
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...
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?
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 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.
Dec 1, 2011 · Cosmologists have theatrically dubbed it the “axis of evil.” More hints of a cosmic arrow come from studies of supernovae, stellar cataclysms that briefly outshine entire galaxies. Cosmologists...
