ASTROPHYSICS;
New astrophysics study findings have been reported from V.G. Gurzadyan
et al
According to a study from Yerevan, Armenia, "The plane-mirror symmetry
previously noticed in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB)
temperature anisotropy maps of Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe is
shown to possess certain anomalous properties."
"The degree of the randomness determined by the Kolmogorov
stochasticity parameter in both symmetry regions appears to have
identical values which, however, essentially differ from the
corresponding values for other sky regions. If the mirroring were of
cosmological origin, this would imply either additional randomizing
properties in those directions of the Universe or their different
line-of-sight depth," wrote V.G. Gurzadyan and colleagues (see also
Astrophysics).
The researchers concluded: "This analysis also provides a way to test
the hypothesis of a link between the nature of dark energy and
inhomogeneities."
Gurzadyan and colleagues published the results of their research in
Astronomy & Astrophysics (Plane-mirroring anomaly in the cosmic
microwave background maps. Astronomy & Astrophysics,
2009;498(1):L1-L3).
