The Universe May Be Twisted: New Research Undermines the Foundations of Cosmology.

According to ТСН: New studies call into question one of the key ideas of modern cosmology - the concept that the Universe is the same in all directions. A group of scientists has obtained data suggesting that space may be twisted and its structure asymmetrical.

At stake is the so-called standard cosmological model Lambda-CDM, which is based on the assumption of isotropy and homogeneity of the cosmos. This means that the Universe looks the same in any direction on large scales. However, a number of scientific discrepancies, including a phenomenon known as the 'Hubble tension', indicate a possible inadequacy of this view.

Cosmic Dipole Anomaly

A new challenge to this model arises from the cosmic dipole anomaly associated with deviations in the distribution of distant astronomical objects, such as radio galaxies and quasars. According to standard concepts, these variations should correspond to the dipole anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background - the relic radiation left over from the Big Bang. This tests the Ellis-Boldin test.

Once large observational catalogs emerged, it became clear that the Universe does not comply with this test. Changes in the distribution of matter do not match the variations in the relic radiation. The results are confirmed by various types of telescopes and observations at different wavelengths, making the probability of error unlikely.

Revisiting Models

This discovery creates a serious problem: to explain the anomaly, it may be necessary to revise not only the Lambda-CDM model but also the fundamental mathematical descriptions of space-time used by cosmologists.

In the coming years, a new array of high-precision data is expected from the Euclid, SPHEREx missions, the Vera Rubin telescope, and the giant SKA array. Scientists believe these data could help develop an updated model of the Universe, possibly using machine learning methods.

In addition, a mysterious hole was recently discovered on the surface of Mars, which may not just be a geological anomaly. Scientists do not rule out that this hole could become a natural shelter for astronauts.

Thus, new research opens new horizons for cosmology, forcing scientists to rethink established theories about the structure and nature of the Universe. Additional data from future space missions could significantly change our understanding of the cosmos and its evolution.
