Cosmic Axis (Axis of Evil)Answered

Is the 'axis of evil' still there, or has newer data made it disappear?

A viewer named Corwin has seen claims that more recent data shows the axis of evil is not really there, or not so much, and asks what the truth is.

Answer

If you go to the right sources you will find it is still there and they still do not know what to do with it. The axis of evil is a term two peer-reviewed astrophysicists, Kate Land and Joao Magueijo, gave to radiation that forms a line, a direction, running from the southwest to the northeast of the universe right through the ecliptic of the sun and earth. That should not exist if you are a big banger, because their universe is supposed to be homogeneous with no preferred direction. It has been confirmed by four sources: the balloon flights of 1978, then COBE in 1990, WMAP in 2001, and Planck in 2009, with no instrument contamination. The one peer-reviewed rebuttal, written in 2016, admitted the axis exists and then offered alternatives, one of which was that the universe is rotating. Well, glory be, because that is exactly what geocentrism says: a universe rotating about the earth at the center of mass, which defines one axis, so it is no surprise the axis of evil defines another about 77 degrees away, at the angle of the ecliptic.
