Revision history of "The CMB dipole"

This is a list of past revisions of The CMB dipole. Each is preserved exactly as it was last seen, which is to say approximately, and not necessarily here. Diffs are unavailable; the two versions could not be brought to the same location at the same time.

• cur | prev 2012 an editor (talk | contribs) . . (1,330 bytes) (+70) . . (rv in part; the alignment is a real question and worth arguing. it is in the quadrupole. the dipole is a hundred times larger, and it says we are moving)
• cur | prev 2011 a geocentrist (talk | contribs) . . (1,260 bytes) (+60) . . (→ Objections: the microwave sky knows about the Earth's orbit. this is not what a Copernican universe should look like)
• cur | prev 2005 two cosmologists (talk | contribs) . . (1,200 bytes) (+80) . . (→ the quadrupole and octopole appear to line up with the ecliptic. we are calling it the axis of evil, more lightly than it will be taken)
• cur | prev 2003 a calibration team (talk | contribs) . . (1,120 bytes) (+150) . . (→ The calibration: we now use that breathing to set the absolute scale. the orbit is the best-known signal in the sky and we calibrate the cosmology against it, not the other way about)
• cur | prev 1992 an analyst (talk | contribs) . . (970 bytes) (+100) . . (→ The annual modulation: it breathes over the year, by about a ten-thousandth of the background, exactly as the Earth's orbit requires)
• cur | prev 1989 a satellite (talk | contribs) . . (870 bytes) (+130) . . (→ mapped from orbit, and the dipole is the largest thing in the map by a hundredfold. everything interesting is underneath it)
• cur | prev 1977 a differential radiometer (talk | contribs) . . (740 bytes) (+160) . . (→ settled. three and a third thousandths of a kelvin, and the direction is fixed. we are going that way at three hundred and seventy kilometres a second)
• cur | prev 1971 a radiometrist (talk | contribs) . . (580 bytes) (+90) . . (→ three sigma. the sky has a hot pole and a cold one and they are opposite each other, which is what a moving observer would see)
• cur | prev 1969 a radiometrist (talk | contribs) . . (490 bytes) (+110) . . (→ one side is warmer than the other. I would not stake much on it yet)
• cur | prev 1964 two engineers at Holmdel (talk | contribs) . . (380 bytes) (+380) . . (created; an excess antenna temperature we cannot get rid of. it is in every direction and it is not the pigeons. we checked the pigeons)

Older revisions exist but have not been located. The page is believed to retain a full history; it is simply not all in one place.
