I recently read another article suggesting the universe expansion might be anisotropic. The most interesting part was mentioning that data from supernova standard candles had been normalized to fit with the assumption that expansion is isotropic.
Once they removed those adjustments to the data it turned out that expansion is a local phenomenon only for our galaxy and nearby galaxies.
- ailideex 7y agoDark matter != dark energy - dark energy is what is proposed to be the cause of the expansion of the universe, dark matter is what binds galaxies together. For others, the article mentioned is likely: https://phys.org/news/2019-11-evidence-anisotropy-cosmic.html https://phys.org/news/2019-11-evidence-anisotropy-cosmic.htm...
- petjuh 7y agoAh, yes, sorry. I didn't realize this article talks about dark matter, not dark energy.
- mr_mitm 7y agoIt's in the first three words of the headline though
- tylerjwilk00 7y agoAlso worth noting is that it isn't necessarily that expansion anisotropic. It's the acceleration of expansion that is anisotropic.
