Now, one team of cosmologists has used the oldest radiation there is, the afterglow of the big bang, or the cosmic microwave background (CMB), to show that the universe is «isotropic,» or the same no matter which way you look: There is no spin axis or any other special direction in space.

The team of cosmologists from Harvard University, the University of Minnesota, the California Institute of Technology / Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and Stanford University / SLAC used BICEP2 to observe telltale patterns in the cosmic microwave background — the afterglow of the Big Bang almost 14 billion years ago — that support the leading theory about the origins of the universe.
