Wikipedia on the cold spot and axis of evil:
Possible causes other than primordial temperature fluctuation[edit]
The large 'cold spot' forms part of what has been called an 'axis of evil' (so named because it is unanticipated to see structure[7]) which has been explained using several contexts: "many authors have commented about how the AE impacts our understanding of how structure emerged in the Universe within the framework of CDM and hydro-gravitational dynamics (HGD)"[8]

Multiple galaxy clusters (31) do NOT produce a radiation shadow in the WMAP background radiation pattern (CMB) of the universe. This radiation pattern is supposed to be the afterglow of the big bang located at the boundary of our own universe.!!

If the standard model of how the universe was formed is correct, microwave radiation from the edges of the universe would be blocked by clusters of galaxies, causing 'shadows' in the microwave background. (Graphic courtesy of The University Of Alabama In Huntsville)
Newest adapted scheme of the solar position inside our egg shaped universe.
1: is our solar position about in the middle? or
2: is the edge of our visual universe circular or more elliptical or deformed by the local absence of a Higgs ether?
