I have asked this many times on many posts and either people honestly do not have an educated opinion, or they are afraid to touch the topic. My question actually consists of multiple parts. Please feel free to respond with your own ideas. They say the universe is expanding. For what is it expanding into? If our universe is expanding, then what is the expanse we are expanding into consist of? Is there a limit to that expanse? Or is there another expanse that is growing out of? Is endless really a reality in space? If not, what is on the other side of the end? If so, how can it continue to become larger? BONUS QUESTION: Please everyone respect each others beliefs on this one. They say God created everything. Ok, but what created God? If he/she was the beginning, then what did he/she accumulate from? If there was nothing before, what or how can anything come to be? Very much looking forward to everyone's responses.

With a cheap spectrum analyser like that you are seeing the instrument's noise, not the cosmic background radiation. It is also at much higher frequencies. But it makes for a good analogy!

It can also be just a happy coincidence. In an infinite universe with a vast amount of planets, it's not so strange that a few of them would happen to align with this axis. Or it could be that our measurements of the cosmic background radiation, are influenced by our placement in the cosmos in a way that it produces this result.

Also, this is only photons from what was the local area 13.2 billion years ago that seem to share an alignment with our current solar system. The observable mass of other galaxies doesn't share an alignment with our solar system. The CMB alone (seems to) have the same alignment as our solar system...based on measurements made from within our solar system. Frankly, the fact that the matter of the observable universe lines up with the rest of the CMB well but doesn't share this quirk suggests very strongly that it's a problem with taking measurements from within the solar system's orbit. These kind of measurement errors are common in science. The term for this type of error is "antisotrophy", meaning the direction our equipment is pointed in matters and we're already making corrections for it in the CMB data. To give an analogy, this problem is sort of like finding muddy cat pawprints across your floor but never having seen a cat in your house. You can either assume a cat snuck into your house without you noticing, or you can assume cat pawprints can spontaneously create themselves. This "axis of evil" nonsense is equivalent to assuming cat pawprints can spontaneously create themselves instead of trying to follow the pawprints and find the cat.

Looks like a distortion caused by some kind of orbital motion - the differences in CMB levels are so small that any unaccounted orbital motion would have a huge effect on the final result. In fact I am often amazed how much interference the scientists and engineers are able to filter out when working with electromagnetic signal. This just might be the time when something was missed. Then again, a discovery of a new astrophysics paradigm would be awesome but on hearing hooves one should always think horses, not zebras. Definitely exciting!

One of those "sort of but not really" things. They pushed the bounds out as to when isotropy can take over, but that doesn't rule it out completely (of course at some point if you push the bounds far enough you'll exceed the scale of the visible universe and the question becomes unanswerable to the point of meaningless, but one step at a time). Being anisotropic is not really related to any sort of geocentrism concept though. It just means that the very early universe was perhaps slightly more chaotic than existing models suggest (and given that the existing models were built to explain the isotropy we'd observed, its not terribly surprising that better observations will force us to adjust the models).

The theory that makes the most sense to me, if we assume for the moment that our current understanding and measurements of the CMB are in fact correct, is that some force/property of the universe caused us to align with the CMB, rather than the other way around. That seems much more plausible to me than that our puny little space rock actually turns out to be the center of the entire universe. If that were the case, though, I would think there must be other systems out there that show a similar correlation. Not all of them, but at least some.

#3 makes sense if an outside entity made the universe, especially if we humans relate to it somehow. This is just one way how someone from outside our universe could be waving hello.

I have a theory that makes a lot of sense to me atleast. In the video "This Light Let's You See The Strength Of An Object" you go into detail about polarized light. The patterns that show up on the spoon look eerily similar to the images of the universe seen using microwaves. Could the 2 subjects be related and if so could the reason the ecliptic plain and equinox seem to line up with these patterns is because the polarized light from the sun is leaving an imprint or shadow on the image of the universe.

@JohnDlugosz

No. The resemblance of the bands of color following stress patterns and false coloring to indicate a dipole pattern is a superficial thing. There have been limited measurements of the polarization of the CMB in the south pole. The images shown are variations in frequency, and are not polarized.

There seems to be anomalies in the data when one considers other wavelengths of light in these antisotropy maps. The CMB is only considering the microwave data.

I think we need to repeat the experiment on Mars to determine if the local gravity of the planet it is done on has any effect on the declination of the axis proportional to the difference in the orbital planes of Erath and Mars and also to eliminate any non-obvious "ringing" or harmonics that Earth's magnetic field might induce.

And this would be my thought process while sitting on the toilet...........

Somehow Infinity has thinned out🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 what you're saying is that somehow Infinite Energy has thinned out? Infinite plasma has thinned out? Somehow Infinity has disbursed itself to be thinner🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔? So then what was it dispersed into? For something to become thin it dissolves into something else. So if our universe is infinite and it became thin then what the hell is outside of our universe that it somehow thinned and disbursed itself into? And please don't say dark matter, because Dark Matter would be part of our universe, although unexplained, it would still be part of our universe so if our universe is infinite, how could it thin itself out into another medium that itself was not infinite in order for it to infinitely continue expanding? So it was expanding and thinning itself out into nothingness? So then what do we call the nothingness that it expanded into to become so thin? Is that part of our universe or something separate?🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯MULTIVERSE🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯"

Not saying it's right, but surely there's an option 4 - coincidence? There are a lot of things in the universe; surely it would be weirder if *nothing* happened to align with the CMB, so why not have the solar system be one of the outliers than line up?

There's also an option 5 he didnt mention, mostly purposefully while also unintentional. Isaiah 42:5 says, "Thus saith God the Lord, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein." And you may note the very first things god created where the heaven (singular at the time) and the earth. Heaven being used synonymously with sky or even space. So earth having a strange relationship with how the universe is aligned makes sense, it's how God formed the universe, from our reference point. The microwave background radiation isnt from the big bang stretching it, but from God. He points out that there can only be "3" reasons for why it's like that. 1, their theory of the background radiation is wrong, which is true cause the universe didn't come from a big bang; 2, their data is wrong, yet he explains why that's almost impossible unless its skewed somehow they dont know *yet* (a random card for a catch all defense), or 3, the world has significance in the universe. He failed to mention 4, it's the result of how god made the universe, making his own viewpoint of the universe invalid. Many times when science and the bible disagree, science has been wrong. Human science, after all, is just conclusions we came to from looking at repeatable events and trying to understand them. God on the other hand already understands them, he made them! Just a PSA, this might have some grammar mistakes, who cares. Dont shoot me for them okay. As long as you understand what I'm saying is enough.

I imagine it's #1, and there are heretofore undiscovered structural modalities to the universe that we don't yet understand and cannot yet observe. I think I read an article a few years ago, too, about the axes of various galaxies also being aligned with one another

Maybe we are "special" and probably we are not, but this shouldn't even matter. The pursuit of knowledge feels noble tho.

the ecliptic plane is the path of the sun.

You forgot to mention that none of the three reasons are mutual exclusive. I never did believe the big bang unicorn. But the filtering and measurements could be wrong as well. Being microwave, it is very likely that the signal is generated locally and be related to Rayleigh scattering with water vapor being the culprit. It is also possible that it has no correlation to temperature whatsoever.

This was cool :)

Could it just be relativity? Maybe you would observe this in any system regardless off its orientation. Of course that would be exceedingly difficult to prove...

So my theory is that the creators of the simulation didn't have high hopes on us getting this far and left it like that and called it a day :/ lmao

@@bosonbreeder I'm pretty sure no one actually thinks that we live in a simulation. Its just a fun theory to think about.

My thoughts on this: There is 2 things that can cause this. And it comes down to how they sample it to fully decipher which one is more likely from the 2 given options. And it likely is a combo of these 2. Soooo, Imma explain. If we are dealing with a single sample. Then I think the CMB contrast correlates to the number of averages tooken. Put simply, The lower contrast you have the more noise you allow in. The more noise you have allowed in, the more signal sin wave sums you're allowing making them hard to distinguish from one another (hence the cause of this noise). Which thus makes the lower contrast images more accurate for larger scales where more samples are tooken due to more spacetime on average. Whilst higher contrast on the other hand is more accurate for small scales due to less samples tooken due to less spacetime on average. Given higher contrast correlates to higher overall differentiation (making higher contrast images akin to applying a limiting factor). Hence explaining the axis of evil under a sample to signal definability standpoint with scales. This also means theoretically you can see further out from the CMB via using lower frequency electromagnetic waves. Downside of this approach for seeing further out tho, is exponential drop off with accuracy (Since photons are easier to effect with Spacetime Curvature). Making Gravitational Waves, and squeezed gravitational waves (the Gravitational Wave analog of "Squeezed photons" aka Squeezed states of light) the Superior Imaging basis for larger scales beyond CMB using this method. Whilst Photons are Superior for mapping out small scales. Whilst the between range, probs requires taking a Mean Average of the 2 (to account for things like Aberration of Light on large scales due to our relative motion, via using more resistant to change Spacetime waves to correct). Altho. Keep in mind this is only when considering the initial sample. You will need to adjust accordingly via the generalized uncertainty principle with signals when it comes down to input device shutter rate (aka when it comes to multiple samples). And if they take high contrast CMB measurements via more frames of exposure using shutter. Then the axis of evil can also be easily explained away with cummalative statistical error. I believe the reality of it, is the sum of these 2 possible causes. I guess only time and experimentation will tell. 🤔
