Mordred Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 (edited) The axis of evil in the 2012 was a calibration error hence in the later dataset the axis is no longer as pronounced. The CMB data supports a homogeneous and isotropic universe and does not support any special place in the Universe including the Earths location. Edited April 11, 2018 by Mordred

Ya gonna need a lot of links to prove that, the findings have not changed from cobe to wmap to planck.

I have yet to gleen what this "it" is that you purport to be "up against", but as far as "the earth is in a special spot in the cosmos", well here are some figures for just The Milky Way Galaxy. about 100 billion to 200 billion stars about 3,700 or thereabouts exoplanets about 2,700 or so solar systems So, "Scotty99", I hope that the "it" you allude to is not such easily confirmed current information.

You’re the one making claims running counter to mainstream and accepted science, so you are the one who needs to start ponying up the evidence. YouTube videos don’t cut it. If you can’t do this, the thread will be getting closed.
Scotty99 Posted April 11, 2018 Author Posted April 11, 2018 No its on mordred, feel free to close the thread but the results of the cosmic background exploration missions are well known and documented at this point. This thread will exist as a reminder of how results get skewed and misrepresented to fit the mainstream belief of the day.

Mordred Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 (edited) I told yoi where to find the paper. Do I need to do the work for you on a simple google search. Fair enough here it is. "In summary, we find no evidence for cosmic defects from the Planck 2015 data, with tighter limits than before. 7. Conclusions42 (1) The six-parameter base ΛCDM model continues to provide a very good match to the more extensive 2015 Planck data, including polarization. This is the most important conclusion ofthis paper." https://arxiv.org/abs/1502.01589 The entire paper supports the base 6 parameter Lambda CDM model which specifies a homogeneous and isotropic universe. Your turn (nothing in this paper supports the Earth as having a special location) Edited April 11, 2018 by Mordred 2

Secondly i am not going to spell out for you what the CMB readings mean, if you are want to continue posting in this thread there is plenty of data out there for you to research on your own. Not the angle you are coming from??? Sure it is...and whether you chose to remain coy about it is neither here nor there. As I have already pointed out, your god of the gaps attempts where science maybe ignorant does not hold any water.
Scotty99 Posted April 11, 2018 Author Posted April 11, 2018 That paper is news to me, that contradicts every single article ive researched about the CMB results. I am curious , how many of the people that worked on those satellite missions are endorsers of that paper? Its just really hard to imagine someone endorsing that paper who worked so closely on these missions, the alignment of the anisotropies was so shocking to them im not sure how that 2015 paper really holds any credence. The only thing to me that makes any sense aside from us being in a special location in regards to the CMB results is cosmic variance, who knows what those images would look like if it were taken from a completely different part of the cosmos.

The only skewed results [mythical fabricated results that is] I see, are that of some religious fanatic, trying to find any obscure reason to support some sort of ID, rather then where the evidence has already taken us.
Mordred Posted April 12, 2018 Posted April 12, 2018 (edited) A project of this magnitude requires a large body of collaberators. Secondly the sheer sensitivity of the Planck detectors can pick up anomolies that are incredibly difficult to filter. For example our motion compared to the Early CMB causes what is called a dipole anistropy on measurements. There was a 2013 paper that discussed the need to deboost these detectors for certain detection frequencies. Here is the paper https://arxiv.org/abs/1303.5083 If you look through the Planck publications you will find there is an incredible effort to fine tune each dataset and on callibration for a large variety of defects. They have publishef numerous papers specifically dealing woth these callibrations. The formulas for the dipole anistropy are contained in this link Edited April 12, 2018 by Mordred
beecee Posted April 12, 2018 Posted April 12, 2018 http://www.geocentrismdebunked.org/the-cmb-and-geocentrism/ The New Geocentrists have been claiming for some time that recent measurements of certain cosmological features “point straight at the Earth”[1], and that therefore the Earth must be in the centre of the Universe. More recently, they have been promoting their movie, The Principle, which they hype as “one of the most controversial films of our time”[2]. The movie is ostensibly about a “fair, balanced and comprehensive treatment” of the Copernican Principle – the proposition that the Earth is not in a central or favoured position in the cosmos. Of course, it is well known that the movie’s principals, Robert Sungenis and Rick DeLano, are strict geocentrists who believe, for religious reasons of their own, that the Earth is absolutely static and located at the exact centre of the Universe. Strict geocentrism has been superseded for centuries – and there are clear modern refutations of the idea[3]. Strict geocentrism is also a far more extreme position than would necessarily follow if the Copernican Principle were to be violated. It is clear that The Principle movie is a Trojan Horse for strict geocentrism, even though DeLano in particular claims that the film contains no more than an examination of the Copernican Principle. more at link....

We have seen that observations in the last decade have reinforced rather than undermined the Standard Model. Of course, that is not to say that the Cosmological Principle of homogeneity and isotropy on the largest scales is sacrosanct. Astrophysicists and cosmologists publish and discuss many challenges to that concept, but even in the extreme case, geocentrism is not the natural successor to the Standard Model, should a substantially inhomogeneous universe model become accepted. The basic fallacy of the geocentrists is to believe and to argue that evidence against the Standard Model and against the Cosmological Principle, such as it is, is evidence in favour of a geocentric cosmology.

He certainly is not burdened with some ID religious nonsense to skewer his views.
Mordred Posted April 12, 2018 Posted April 12, 2018 (edited) Would you like the results from dozens of different datasets all professionally done for comparision? Youtube vids means literally nothing in the scientific community. The only papers that are acceptable on the majority of any scientific forum or community is peer reviewed. Here is the thing when a model or theory becomes mainstream it usually requires decades of research, counter arguments, counter papers, supportive evidence etc. The cosmological principle itself did not happen overnight to become mainstream. Its been a hotly competed theory for decades. The evidence of 100's of studies won out in favor of the cosmological principle. Lol no forum topic on any forum will ever change a mainstream view. That approach will always be insufficient Edited April 12, 2018 by Mordred
