In physics, the term "isotropy" means a system where the properties are the same in all directions. For fusion, neutron ...

New research suggests the universe may be lopsided. Cosmic microwave background and galaxy data hint at directional differences, challenging cosmology’s assumption of uniformity and standard ...

The latest data from the Planck satellite have consolidated our understanding of the cosmic microwave background and the early Universe — except for some large-angle anomalies. These effects could be ...

The standard model of Cosmology makes an important assumption: that the Universe is essentially isotropic, the same in all directions. This is a pretty good assumption, and so far isotropy seems to be ...
