Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) and the ‘axis of evil’ which destroys the Scientism of the Big Bang.

The secret and astounding fact is that cosmic microwave background radiation and harmonics, point to the ecliptic and equator of the Earth.

Prologue

Philosophy is always the foundation of ‘Science’.  In large part you are your worldview.  ‘The Cosmological Science’ and its religious theology of ‘The Big Bang’ are proof of this.  Sundry underlying philosophical assumptions always determine the interpretation of data.  Other parameters which deform interpretation include data fraud, censorship, money, power, fame, the allure of being published, professorships, awards, and ego-stroking. Scientism and human corruption. 

One of the many intemperate and unsolvable scientific issues for ‘The Science’ of cosmology is that of anisotropy, or the heterogeneity of the observable universe.  Cosmic Background Radiation is not homogenous throughout the universe, as predicted by Bangers.  This cannot be easily dismissed or explained away, cutting as it does, right into the heart of their model, namely a magical explosion of the cosmic egg which contained all the matter in the universe, a nuclear fusion explosion, a massive acceleration thousands of times the speed of light, a cooling period and then uniformity and homogeneity in CMB (cosmic microwave background), with CMB being ‘a relic of the Big Bang’ and the universe’s temperature now a cool 2.725° Kelvin.

If nothing else ‘The Science’ loves uniformitarianism, endless time, slow and gradual, and eventually an equilibrium and stasis.  Yet no evidence exists for CMB isotropy or homogeneity.  It is all jumbled up.  The implications for the Scientism of modern cosmology are momentous and shattering.

WMAP’s discontents

CMB heterogeneity was known back in the 1970s and 80s and this insidious problem prompted a response.  In the late 1990s ‘The Science’ with its $25 billion per annum budget created a new project called WMAP or Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe, named after the original discoverer of the CMB anisotropies in 1981, David T. Wilkinson.  It was launched by NASA in 2001.  The real objective was to disprove Wilkinson’s observations.  What WMAP actually uncovered astounded and further perplexed ‘The Science’.  If Wilkinson was correct, the anisotropy of CMB by itself would disprove the Big Bang.  So what did WMAP uncover?

The WMAP images have shown the exact same results as the earlier probe named the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE), only with more clarity.  COBE was launched in 1989 and is always used as ‘proof’ of Banging.  But the actual data collected by COBE reveals quite the opposite picture, confirmed by WMAP.  Both COBE and WMAP show that there is anisotropy in the universe, and that the Sun-Earth ecliptic plane (the black line in the image below) was precisely in the centre, between the red poles (hotter regions) and the blue poles (colder regions). There is a difference of 50mK or 50 millionths of a degree Kelvin from the 2.725° Kelvin of the remaining CMB.  This is not what the Bangers predicted or wanted.

(WMAP data and geo-centredness)

Tegmark tantalised

One of the first scientists in WMAP to analyse this data was Max Tegmark of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.  He was astounded at the data.  The usually reliable mouthpiece of propaganda, the BBC, reported what he found: 

“We [WMAP] found something very bizarre; there is some extra, so far unexplained structure in the CMB. We had expected that the microwave background would be truly isotropic, with no preferred direction in space but that may not be the case.” (BBC, 2003)

What Tegmark and others found was a pattern and one that pointed to the Sun-Earth ecliptic plane (Tegmark, et al July 26, 2003).  In geek-speak the symmetry of the CMB containing octopole and quadrupole components revealed a curiosity.

“The octopole and quadrupole components are arranged in a straight line across the sky, along a kind of cosmic equator. That's weird. We don't think this is due to foreground contamination,” Dr Tegmark said. “It could be telling us something about the shape of space on the largest scales. We did not expect this and we cannot yet explain it.” (BBC, March 3, 2003)

Note:

Octopole:  A multipole configuration with eight equal charges arranged in a circular pattern.

Quadrupole:  A distribution of either electric charge or magnetization equivalent to two dipoles that point in opposite direction.

In essence these ‘poles’ are based on a monopole; an analogy would be a musical instrument where there is a fundamental note (say the base A string) but variations or poles of different notes that can be played on that string, more below). 

These facts comport with the COBE data.  But consider this epiphany.  WMAP observations have shown that the 93 billion light year diameter universe was in direct alignment with the 93-million-mile distance between the Sun and the Earth – a ratio of 10^-17 to 1.  Just another coincidence.  In fact, cosmological statistics show that an alignment of the CMB quadrupole and octupole with the Earth is a 0.1% probability equivalent to the death rate from the Corona ‘pandemic’.  In other words, not a coincidence. 

CMB pole alignment

In a 2004 publication, the ‘Copi team’ of Craig Copi, Dominik Schwarz, Glenn Starkman, and Dragan Huterer admitted that the CMB poles were not only aligned with the Sun-Earth ecliptic, but also hint that they are aligned with the Earth’s equinoxes:

The large-angle correlations of the cosmic microwave background exhibit several statistically significant anomalies compared to the standard inflationary cosmology…the quadrupole-octopole correlation is excluded from being a chance occurrence in a gaussian random statistically isotropic sky at >99.87%….The correlation of the normals [perpendicular vectors] with the ecliptic poles suggest an unknown source or sink of CMB radiation or an unrecognized systematic.

…If it is a physical source or sink in the inner solar system it would cause an annual modulation in the time-ordered data….Physical correlation of the CMB with the equinoxes is difficult to imagine, since the WMAP satellite has no knowledge of the inclination of the Earth’s spin axis (Copi et al, November 26, 2004).

[The CMB Dipole is aligned with the Earth’s equinoxes]

Hard place and Rocks

Copi et al published a paper in 2013, which stated that ‘The Science’ of cosmology was in a difficult spot, squeezed between a hard place and many rocks. 

“This is in contradiction to the predictions of standard inflationary cosmological theory. One is therefore placed between a rock and a hard place….These apparent correlations with the solar system geometry are puzzling and currently unexplained…the quadrupole and octopole are orthogonal to the ecliptic at the 95.9% CL [confidence level]…a systematic that is indeed correlated with the ecliptic plane…the normals to these four planes are aligned with the direction of the cosmological dipole (and with the equinoxes) at a level inconsistent with Gaussian random, statistically isotropic skies at 99% CL….

We can only conclude that (i) we don’t live in a standard ΛCDM Universe with a standard inflationary early history; (ii) we live in an extremely anomalous realization of that cosmology; (iii) there is a major error in the observations of both COBE and WMAP; or (iv) there is a major error in the reduction to maps performed by both COBE and WMAP. Whichever of these is correct, inferences from the large-angle data about precise values of the parameters of the standard cosmological model should be regarded with particular skepticism (Copi, et al, 2013, arXiv: 0808.3767v2, p. 2).

Sadly, for these committed Bangers, the 2009 Planck probe ruled out options ii, iii and iv, and leaves them with option i, namely, “we don’t live in a standard ΛCDM Universe [Big Bang] with a standard inflationary early history.” 

What the Bangers cannot explain is why these alignments are correlated with our solar system.  CMB anisotropy should obviously not be correlated with our local habitat.  The usual tropes about contamination in the foreground or in the scanning strategy of the telescope simply don’t make sense given the extensive mapping of data using COBE, WMAP, the Planck probes, James Web Telescoope and the SLOAN digital sky survey, all of which provide aligned and mutually reinforcing data. 

The CMB anisotropies are analogous to the warm and cool spots in the Earth’s Ocean being aligned with the Earth’s equator and its 23.5 ecliptic angle, except in this case we are speaking of the whole universe, an astounding phenomenon, predicted by no model, except the Tychonic.  Yet how many people know a thing about the Tychonic models (there are 2 variations of the helio-geo-centric model)?  The reality is that the universe appears to be oriented towards the Sun-Earth ecliptic (Starkman and Schwarz, p. 50)

Violins, Pythagoras and the Schoolmen

[The musical notation of CMB poles]

Were the Scholastics and the 6^th century BC Pythagoreans right, when they both alluded to the musical symmetry and form-perfection of life and a created universe?  The harmonic multipoles of the CMB are also analogous to the harmonics of musical vibrations and is this yet another coincidence?  Unlikely given the mathematical probably against such symmetrical perfection.

Consider my favourite instrument the violin, a wonderful construction that I butcher when I try to play.  When we run the bow on the string it vibrates at a high speed.  This causes the air molecules around the string to vibrate, producing sound waves which travel to our ear.  This string vibration is however rather complex.  First, we have the basic or fundamental note, but other notes appear that when combined, create the sound that is unique to a violin as opposed to a cello.  

When playing note A above middle C, the string vibrates at 440 hertz or 440 times per second, which is the ‘fundamental’ or ‘first harmonic’.  The second harmonic vibrates twice as fast at 880 hertz or a 2:1 ratio, which is the A an octave higher.  The third harmonic vibrates at 1320 hertz or with a ratio of 3:2, which will be the E, an octave and a fifth above the fundamental note etc.  The higher the harmonic the quieter the note, but the ratio to create a harmonic is always a whole number.

Pythagoreans and Schoolmen offered music and maths as explanations of the underlying logical and rational structure of the universe.  For Pythagoreans the universe was based on numbers and music.  There is certainly something appreciably insightful about their philosophies, based not just on the esoteric of immaterialism, but on mathematics and logic.  Modern observations seem to agree with their theories. 

Chants and praises

A musical notation pattern exists with CMB.  Within the universe the cosmic microwave background radiation is the fundamental note, which can be divided into higher harmonics, such as dipole, quadrupole and octupole.  Whereas the various harmonics of musical notes will create a different tone, the CMB harmonics will create different orientations or directions for the microwaves.  The astounding fact for the CMB harmonics is that all of them point to the ecliptic and equator of the Earth (Copi et al January 12, 2012, acXiv:1201.2459v1)

CMB: ℓ = 2 (quadrupole); m = 2 (shape); ratio = 0.957

CMB: ℓ = 3 (octopole); m = 3 (shape); ratio = 0.942

CMB: ℓ = 4; m = 2; ratio = 0.875

‘The axis of evil’

COBE, WMAP, the 2009 Planck probe, JWT and countless other observations have proven the Big Bang as false.  Cosmic microwave background radiation is not uniform throughout the universe.  The simple factual interpretation of the observed data is that all the radiation in the universe, whether it is symmetric or asymmetric, is centred around the Earth.  Space appears oriented towards the Sun-Earth axis.  This is anathema to the modern secular religions which dominate our society. 

What are the chances that this orientation could happen by accident?  WMAP is a team of Copernican believers, and they admit that the “combined chance probability is certainly less than one in 10,000.”  So disconcerting is this evidence to ‘The Science’ and its theology that the propaganda outlet funded by the establishment called New Scientist, labelled the same universal orientation around Earth’s equatorial plane as, ‘The Axis of Evil’ (Chown, p.19). 

This phrase was taken from the title of a paper written by Kate Land and João Magueijo in a 2005.  Such a depiction written in 2005, echoed the Bush administration’s description of Iraq-Iran and North Korea before the illegal 2003 invasion of Iraq.  The use of such a phrase is poignant and desperate.  The ‘axis of universal evil’ destroys the pathological-Copernican principle and replaces it with a geocentric view.  Philosophically the Church of Scientism cannot possibly countenance or support such a conclusion hence the assignment of ‘evil’ to data which completely destroys the Banging church, viewed by its own laity as the warrior church of freedom and science against ignorance and superstition. 

Bottom Line

The bottom line is that no help is forthcoming for the Scientism of the Bangers to refute the above monograph.  WMAP, COBE and other astronomical observations prove that the anisotropic patterns of the CMB are directed at the Earth and are aligned with the Solar-Earth ecliptic plane. Further, the standard Banging claim of inflation and endless time is also falsified by these observations.

A scientific report in April 2024 from the DESI collaboration project, has provisioned further evidence which simply confirms the above information. To the objective observer it appears that the observational evidence garnered by ‘The Science’ does not support the Big Bang religion, its long ages, or its demands for homogeneity.  In fact, the opposite evidentiary proof is presented, whether or not the Science-religious will accept it.  We might well be living in a geocentrically centred universe that is far younger than Copernicans believe. 

Why then is the Big-Bang theory and its human-phobic theology still being taught as religious gospel in education, the media and science?  At the very least the many observational and scientific objections need to be considered along with other models and explanations. But we hear little if anything, about the mass of evidence which negates much of modern cosmological dogma.

Besides money, power, censorship, reputation, awards and egos, a key reason for this resounding silence and lack of criticism is that the ‘Big Bang’ satisfies the underlying philosophical nihilism and materialism, embedded in the anti-humanist Copernican ‘principle’. Based on this misanthropic ‘principle’, ‘The Science’ must degrade and debase humans and our planet and make us cosmologically irrelevant and all processes subject to the miracles of mechanistic materialism. This underlying human-phobia and mechanical materialism is the true guiding ‘philosophy’ of ‘The Science’ and informs how its members interpret and advertise observational data.

Paradigms, religions and all that, but precious little inquisitive and fair-minded science.
