Asymmetry Detected

 

Asymmetry Detected in the Distribution of Galaxies

HEY Ethan?

From Big Think.

How'd that get there?

Hum?

"Two new studies suggest 

that certain tetrahedral arrangements of galaxies 

outnumber their mirror images, 

potentially reflecting details 

of the universe’s birth. 

(Translation:

they are part of the 

"initial conditions")

But confirmation is needed."

(I bet they get confirmed 

before anybody finds 

"actual, 

measurable 

data"

of a multiverse.

Anybody wanna take that bet?

Ethan?

Oh come on now.

Live a lil,

have some fun.

Instead of fine wine like others have done we could do

an

Buffalo Trace Antique Collection.

Anybody?

Any cosmologist?

Astrophysicist?

Any scientist?

From any branch of the tree?

Well why not?

"Physicists believe they have detected 

a striking asymmetry 

in the arrangements of galaxies in the sky. 

If confirmed, 

the finding would 

point to features 

of the unknown 

fundamental laws 

that operated 

during the Big Bang."

(How'd they get there then yo?

If confirmed? 

If they operated during the big bang?

Then they had to be there prior to it didn't they?)

“If this result is real, someone’s going to get a Nobel Prize,” said Marc Kamionkowski, a physicist at Johns Hopkins University who was not involved in the analysis."

"As if playing a cosmic game of Connect the Dots, the researchers drew lines between sets of four galaxies, constructing four-cornered shapes called tetrahedra. When they had built every possible tetrahedron from a catalog of 1 million galaxies, they found that tetrahedra oriented one way outnumber their mirror images."

(Begs the question of why?

And?

How?

Did that happen?)

"A hint of the imbalance between tetrahedra and their mirror images was reported by Oliver Philcox, an astrophysicist at Columbia University in New York, in a paper published in Physical Review D in September. In an independent analysis conducted simultaneously that’s now undergoing peer review, Jiamin Hou and Zachary Slepian of the University of Florida and Robert Cahn of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory detected the asymmetry with a level of statistical certainty that physicists usually consider definitive."

“There’s no obvious reason that they’ve made a mistake,” said Shaun Hotchkiss, a cosmologist at the University of Auckland. “That doesn’t mean that there isn’t a mistake.”

(I'm just wondering,

Does that same logic 

not apply to 

inflationary models 

and some of them

("Pretty much...all") 

predicting a multiverse?

If not?

Why not?)

"The putative imbalance violates a symmetry called 

“parity,” 

an equivalence of left and right.

If the observation withstands scrutiny, 

physicists think 

it must reflect an unknown, 

parity-violating ingredient 

in the primordial process 

that sowed the seeds 

of all the structure 

that developed in our universe.

(Well what could that ever be I wonder?

"an unknown, 

parity-violating ingredient 

in the primordial process

that sowed the seeds 

of all the structure 

that developed 

in our universe"

These people are describing 

the very God 

they dont wanna admit exist!)

"Left-Handed Universe

Parity was once a cherished symmetry of physics. But then, in 1957, the Chinese American physicist Chien-Shiung Wu’s nuclear decay experiments revealed that our universe indeed has a slight handedness to it: Subatomic particles involved in the weak nuclear force, which causes nuclear decay, are always magnetically oriented in the opposite direction from the one they move in, so that they spiral like the threads of a left-handed screw. The mirror-image particles — the ones like right-handed screws — don’t feel the weak force."

(Translation:

There is no need

or reason 

for it to be like this.

But it is.

My contention is:

It is yet again 

more evidence

of a theistic agent

(One that transcends our reality)

acting upon his creation.

"The tetrahedron is the simplest shape that has parity, or handedness. It looks different when reflected in a mirror."

"The team found a “seven-sigma” level of parity violation in the real data, meaning that the imbalance between left- and right-handed tetrahedra was seven times as large as could be expected from random chance and other conceivable sources of error.

(Means it wasn't a chance.

So how did it happen?)

"Kamionkowski called it “incredible that they were able to do that,” adding that “technically, it’s absolutely astounding. It’s a really, really, really complicated analysis.”

"Even after extensive efforts to understand the data, all parties remain cautious."

(To bad the same wasn't applied to the JWST fining larger galaxies than were thought to have been able to exist in the early universe. I wonder why the discrepancy?

)

"The surprising finding hints at new physics that could potentially answer long-standing questions about the universe." 

(I wonder just

what it could be?

Maybe:

"an unknown, 

parity-violating ingredient 

in the primordial process

that sowed the seeds 

of all the structure 

that developed 

in our universe"

perhaps?)

To the folks at quanta magazine, Please quit talking about things that haven't been proven to exist yet as if they do.

I see this more and more these days across platforms.

It's misleading and it's irresponsible.

"As for what the additional field might be, one possibility is the gravitational field. In this scenario, a parity-violating Chern-Simons interaction would occur between inflaton particles and gravitons — the quantum units of gravity — which would have popped up in the gravitational field during inflation. Such an interaction would have created a handedness in the density variations of the early universe and, consequently, in today’s large-scale structure"
