Nicolaas Groeneboom (ITA): Do we live in an anisotropic universe?

Fredagskollokvium

Abstract

Recently, there has been more focus on whether anisotropic universe models can explain various anomalies found in the cosmic microwave background. In this presentation, I will explain the basics of cosmological data analysis, present an anisotropic universe model and go through recent results showing that, indeed, we might very well live in a universe that is non-isotropic! The presentation will also feature rubber ducks, mr. Bean and a c64.
