The article detailing the fact that the solar system seems cosmically aligned, with a cool lobe above and a warm lobe below the solar system plane--was very interesting.
I think this is an observer effect. It is based on a tremendously large scaledoppler effect on these very small black-body raditation levels. We are traveling 'down', so to speak, creating this large scale effect.
Nothing else makes sense to me.
I know some people will grab this as proof we are at the center of the universe--and all that that entails...
Anyone?
