So where’s
the evidence? Well, astronomers point towards the ‘Cold Spot’, a massive area
in the CMB Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) which stretches a staggering
BILLION light-years across.
To take a
peek at this cosmic microwave background is to glimpse the primordial universe,
a time when it was less than 400,000 years old.
Looking at
the so-called “Cold Spot” spotted by scientists in the cosmic background
radiation, scientists believe they’ve found ‘evidence’ that other
universe—besides our own obviously—exist out there, and it may be evidence we
are living in a MULTIVERSE.
So, the
question here isn’t “Are we alone in the universe” but is our universe ALONE
out there? The existence of other universes changes EVERYTHING.
Ok so, let’s
take a minute and try to understand everything scientists are telling us.
As
scientists have explained, The Cosmic Microwave Background or commonly referred
to as CMB is the leftover light from the Big Bang.
The Big Bang
theory is the prevailing cosmological model for the universe from the earliest
known periods through its subsequent large-scale evolution. It describes how
our universe expanded from a very high density and high-temperature state and
offers a comprehensive explanation for a broad range of phenomena, including
the abundance of light elements, the cosmic microwave background, large scale
structure and Hubble’s Law.
The CMB is
the FURTHEST thing from us in the visible universe and it’s located all around
us, everywhere we look, even though we can’t see it with the naked eye due to
the fact it’s a super low energy, as it has been there from the beginning of
the universe.

For several
years, scientists have studied the CMB, its temperatures, and characteristics
and found something increasingly suspicious. The CMB usually has a temperature
of about 2.7 Kelvin except in one specific place: The so-called COLD SPOT, an
area in the universe which challenges everything scientists thought they knew
about the CMB.
The peculiar
temperature in the cold spot has baffled experts. Even though the temperate is
only a few microkelvin lower than the remaining parts of the CMB, it is
CONSTANT across the entire region—which stretches a staggering BILLION
light-years across, hence why this area of the CMB challenges EVERYTHING we
know about the universe.
So, how can
you explain those temperature variations? Well, astronomers have come up with a
number of different explanations which ‘partially’ explain the “Cold Spot” and
why it’s even there in the first place.
There are
some astronomers who believe that the cold spot is there because our satellites
and instruments had some errors.
However,
many other experts agree that the most mind-being explanation of them all is
the most likely: The Cold Spot exists in the CMB because it’s exactly where
ANOTHER universe bumped into ours.
Interestingly,
simulations of the standard model of the universe show that the Cold Spot could
not have been a random occurrence. So… if it’s not a completely random
occurrence, the chances are great we have found the ultimate evidence of other
universes existing beside our own.
