What if the universe is 'lopsided"? This new study changes everything we know

New research suggests the universe may be lopsided. Cosmic microwave background and galaxy data hint at directional ...

Neutron isotropy measurements validate sheared-flow-stabilized Z pinches for stable thermal fusion

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

The fate of statistical isotropy

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 ...

Isotropy Groups of Homotopy Classes of Maps

Let $\operatorname{aut}(X)$ be the group of homotopy classes of self-homotopy equivalences of a space X and let [ f] ∈ ] X, Y] be a homotopy class of maps from X to Y. The aim of this paper is to ...

Is the Universe the same in all directions?

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 ...
