Possible Causes Other Than Primordial Temperature Fluctuation
The large 'cold spot' forms part of what has been called an 'axis of evil' (so named because it is unanticipated to see structure) 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)"

Famous quotes containing the words primordial and/or temperature:
“It is impossible to give a clear account of the world, but art can teach us to reproduce it—just as the world reproduces itself in the course of its eternal gyrations. The primordial sea indefatigably repeats the same words and casts up the same astonished beings on the same sea-shore.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“This pond never breaks up so soon as the others in this neighborhood, on account both of its greater depth and its having no stream passing through it to melt or wear away the ice.... It indicates better than any water hereabouts the absolute progress of the season, being least affected by transient changes of temperature. A severe cold of a few days’ duration in March may very much retard the opening of the former ponds, while the temperature of Walden increases almost uninterruptedly.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
