    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.

      Possibly there are some genious' amongst you all that may be able to answer my question. 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.

      @@nickfrost9771 The universe doesn't expand into anything. By definition, there is nothing outside the universe. It is not simply a vacuum or different dimension, "outside the universe" does not exist. Space itself is expanding. The universe is simply increasing the amount of volume it contains. There is nothing "on the other side". We do not know if the universe is endless. If so, the volume is of course infitie, and I take back my earlier statement about volume. If the universe is infinite, expanding means everything is getting farther away from each other, even the the universe isn't getting "bigger"

      @@grandunification6226 This wouldn't make us the center of the universe, only that our solar system is aligned with it in one particular way. (And it's the solar system, not us.)
      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.

      I have no idea how any of this works, but it does seem reasonable to verify it from the vantagepoint of a different planet. If you do see an alignment again, there might be an overlooked factor. If not, there's something setting Earth apart from the planets from which observations were done. It does cut down the list of possible parameters, I guess.
      This is just logic done without any kind of contextual knowledge though, so I would be unaware of any obvious reasons why the experiments are superfluous.

    • @altrag
      @altrag 2 роки тому +5

      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. Do we know if that possibility has ever been explored?

    as an interesting hypothesis, in Veritasium's video on the one way speed of light, it leaves up the possibility that the universe is unobservably orientable. By considering a special orientation where light travels the fastest or slowest, the universe could then be given a special orientation independent of the observer. However there is still the problem that the one way speed of light remains undetectable, and thus the theory can not be concluded.

    • @TFayas

      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.

      @@jaybingham3711 but seriously though, you'd have a point if only there was a book written by the spaghetti monster, age old, and explained things like this and others before we understood them, so that now when we do we see that it was right all along. But since there isn't, I'm afraid it's no more than more than poor and exaggerated analogy trying to simplify and mock my point.
      On a side note, I seriously hate angelhair noodles. They are the worst pasta ever, and are probably the spaghetti monsters way of punishing those who don't believe in him.

    I love science. Is consistenly wrong throughout history. Is constantly changing. And when the answer is staring right at them, the data is at fault. The data is never at fault when it's confirming a bias.
