New research shows the universe may be oval in shape.

According to NASA's Space Network <P> reported Oct. 10 reported a long time, scientists have believed that the universe is perfectly round like a sphere. .But the latest study found that the shape of the universe may be the same as the pills start to the sides. .</ P> <P> researchers said this may be due to the shape of the magnetic field throughout the universe, or space-time structure of the defect. .Italy, according to NASA scientists, Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) data collected to this conclusion. .Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe is mainly used for scanning the sky, measured after the Big Bang the temperature of residual material. .So far, the probe sent back data clearly about some of the most important details of the universe. .This includes the history of the universe since the Big Bang (137 million years); the formation of the first atom of time (38 years after the Big Bang), dark matter and ordinary matter and dark energy as the mysterious component ratio in the universe (respectively .5%, 25% and 70%). .</ P> <P> Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe sky also revealed some areas of the overall state of the cosmic microwave strange way. .However, once it involves the largest sample of the sky, the microwave radiation levels do not seem sufficient. .On the other hand, smaller samples seem to be expected that the level of distribution of radiation. .Now, an astrophysicist at the University of Ferrara, Italy Leonardo Capa Neely (Leonardo Campanelli) and its counterparts in the Barry University on behalf of Paul Luo Sea and Louis Scott Guiter found that the universe shaped like an oval .can explain this so-called "four very asymmetric." .</ P> <P> Italian researchers said that if the universe is indeed the first time after the formation of the atomic sphere not the same as the expansion, but the same as the ellipse elongation, which may explain the strange to see the greatest degree of cosmic microwave .strength. .Non-spherical parts of the universe may be farther away than others, and thus appear slightly dark, when we look at the sky only a thin layer of fine, this did not feel a little different. .According to Kappa Neely and colleagues, the eccentricity of the universe than scientists generally believe that about 1% higher than that. .Capa Neely said that the universe may consist of elliptical magnetic field throughout the universe, or as cosmic strings (cosmic string) and other space-time defects caused by cosmic strings with the structure of infinite density, and only then the width of the proton, can go a long to the intergalactic .size, their gravity can make an offset in time and space. .</ P> <P> Greenbelt, Maryland, the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center astrophysicist Jialixinxiao (Gary Hinshaw) although data support that the Italian scientists to say the universe is some basis for the Oval .But he told SPACE.com that the universe using elliptical shape as a solution "quadrupole asymmetry" problem, will have become involved in how the universe began to debate the larger oval. .</ P> <P> Hinshaw said: "In fact, we can not understand the oval-shaped objects in the universe model is learning how to 'natural' appears, therefore, our stress will be very modest from the interpretation of 'asymmetric' turn .explain the new features of the universe. "Italian scientists published in the September 29 the United States," Physical Review Letters, "the magazine reported on their findings. .The future to better understand how to generate polarized cosmic microwave space missions may test this theory of the universe for the oval. .</ P> </ p>.
