"Cosmic Dipole Anomaly" Suggests That Our Universe May Be "Lopsided", Seriously Challenging Our Understanding Of The Cosmos
"The cosmic dipole anomaly has thus established itself as a major challenge to the standard cosmological model, even if the astronomical community has chosen to largely ignore it," Professor Subir Sarkar of the University of Oxford said.
The universe may be lopsided – new research
The shape of the universe is not something we often think about. But my colleagues and I have published a new study suggests it could be asymmetric or lopsided, meaning not the same in every direction. Should we care about this? Well, today’s “standard cosmological model” – which describes the dynamics and structure of the entire cosmos – rests squarely on the assumption that it is isotropic (looks the same in all directions), and homogeneous wh…
