The axis of evil

[SCR]

Aus Ungelöste Rätsel des Alls: Das Universum rotiert – vielleicht:

Diese Drehung des Alls um die eigene Achse sollte noch heute anhalten, was wir aber nicht feststellen könnten. „Wir können die Drehung nicht sehen, denn wir befinden uns innerhalb des Universums und können es nicht von außen sehen, deshalb können wir die Rotation nicht direkt nachweisen“, konstatiert Longo.

arXiv.org: Detection of a Dipole in the Handedness of Spiral Galaxies with Redshifts z ~ 0.04; Michael J. Longo; 14.04.2011
Abstract:

A preference for spiral galaxies in one sector of the sky to be left-handed or right-handed spirals would indicate a parity violating asymmetry in the overall universe and a preferred axis. This study uses 15158 spiral galaxies with redshifts <0.085 from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. An unbinned analysis for a dipole component that made no prior assumptions for the dipole axis gives a dipole asymmetry of -0.0408\pm0.011 with a probability of occurring by chance of 7.9 x 10-4. A similar asymmetry is seen in the Southern Galaxy spin catalog of Iye and Sugai. The axis of the dipole asymmetry lies at approx. (l, b) =(52{\deg}, 68.5{\deg}), roughly along that of our Galaxy and close to alignments observed in the WMAP cosmic microwave background distributions. The observed spin correlation extends out to separations ~210 Mpc/h, while spirals with separations < 20 Mpc/h have smaller spin correlations.
