ELI5: What is the so called Axis of Evil and why does it trouble astronomers?
gpt
Basically there is an underlying assumption that our universe should look essentially the same from any location, and that there's nothing special about where we are in it. 

The Axis of Evil is an anomaly in the background radiation of the observable universe, which appears to line up oddly with our position.

If that were true, it would seem to suggest at least the possibility that the earlier statement is flawed, and raise quite a few questions about *why* our position is 'special.' However, there's definitely not strong agreement that this is actually the case, it has been suggested it could be coincidence, noise in how the data is processed, less significant than believed, or simply an error, among other ideas.
