- New research suggests the solar system is moving three times faster than predicted by the Standard Model of Cosmology.
- The study used radio galaxies and the LOFAR telescope to measure the solar system's speed and direction.
- Findings indicate a dipole difference in matter distribution 3.7 times greater than expected, challenging the Standard Model.
- Previous research on quasars also found similar discrepancies, supporting the new findings.
- The results may require reconsideration of fundamental assumptions about the universe's large-scale structure.
- Future technologies are expected to further test and potentially challenge the Standard Model.
