Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Don't cite Wikipedia. Look at the tiny numbers in blue, click the one next to the statement you want to verify, it will show you the source of the information at the bottom of the page next to the matching number.
Well, following the main reference in the Wikipedia page leads to this:
Do any references suggest this dipole is under debate?
Here is a paper from University College London LINK
And researcher Saadeh's following interview LINK
Which supports the idea that, based on observed CMB data compared to mathematical models, the universe behaves the same in every direction, an anisotropic model with no preferred motion direction.
Ok, I guess the idea that the CMB suggests movement relative to a quasi-absolute reference frame really has become disputed lately... I also found this newer paper by the same authors. It's a pity, I liked the idea.
Same, it gave credence to the concept of a potential center of the big bang being something we could find and observe, which is just really cool to think about.
