论文摘要
宇宙的创造者可以在所有广告牌,宇宙微波背景(CMB)天空中最宇宙上留下一条信息。 HSU&Zee(2006)提出的是在CMB角功率谱中搜索此类信息。我处理Planck和WMAP卫星进行的温度测量值,并提取二进制位流。我将流中潜在消息的信息内容估计约为1,000位。该消息的普遍性可能会受到空间中观察者的依赖位置以及大爆炸后100亿年的有限观察时间的限制。我在实际的位流中没有发现有意义的消息,但是在手稿的末尾包括它,以供有兴趣的读者仔细检查。
The Creator of the universe could place a message on the most cosmic of all billboards, the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) sky. It was proposed by Hsu & Zee (2006) to to search for such a message in the CMB angular power spectrum. I process the temperature measurements taken by the Planck and WMAP satellites and extract the binary bit-stream. I estimate the information content of a potential message in the stream as about 1,000 bits. The universality of the message may be limited by the observer-dependent location in space and the finite observation time of order 100 bn years after the big bang. I find no meaningful message in the actual bit-stream, but include it at the end of the manuscript for the interested reader to scrutinize.
