You make a good point EdEarl and thank-you for your welcome:) I don't have the mathematical background to back up my idea but I wanted to put it out there for those of you that do. It seems difficult to explain why the 'axis of evil' exists in the cosmic microwave background without some perturbation of the system and I wondered if an accretion disc surrounding an inflationary universe might provide it?

Hi all, I'd like to apologise in advance for the layman's terminology in the idea below. I'd be delighted to get any feedback/thoughts on whether CMB observations could be explained in this way. Could the universe have started as a giant black hole that reached a critical mass and collapsed in on itself? White dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes have all collapsed to a denser state under the effects of gravity. Maybe black holes can collapse too. Imagine a black hole becomes so massive that it can no longer maintain itself against the huge gravitational forces. The black hole might collapse in on itself and then explode with all the predicted effects of the inflationary big bang model. In order for critical mass to be reached material would need to be falling into the black hole and this spiralling disc of material might explain the so-called axis of evil that appears in the CMB. An inflationary model expanding into non-nothingness might also produce the less uniform CMB of experimental observation. Best regards Aaron Ironmonger
