Something Strange is Happening in the Structure of the Universe

The "Axis of Evil" remains one of the most uncomfortable secrets in modern astronomy. For over two decades, we have poked and prodded at this anomaly, hoping it would simply dissolve under the lens of better technology.

We moved from the grainy maps of WMAP to the high-definition precision of the Planck satellite, and yet the alignment persisted. We looked past the temperature of the early universe and into the polarization of its light, the motion of its galaxies, and the rotation of its black holes.


In almost every direction we have turned, we have found hints of the same directional bias.
