Description

A new study from Bielefeld University suggests our solar system is racing through the universe at over three times the speed predicted by the standard cosmological model. Using LOFAR radio galaxy data, researchers found a strong directional “headwind” in the sky—evidence of significant anisotropy.

With results reaching five-sigma confidence, the findings raise a major question: Is the universe less uniform than we thought? This episode breaks down what the discovery means and why it may force scientists to rethink key assumptions about cosmology.
