I mean, what is it that lines up in a preferred direction? You can throw in photons to your explanation, even though the jury is still out on Einstein's mind baby.

I'm not at all up to speed on the issue involved here. I'm hoping someone will show up and give us some more info. It would appear that big bang theory has just passed an important test, but I was unaware that the problem existed. I guess I've led a sheltered life.

Maybe you have led a sheltered life. Find a physicist and ask what it is that is being polarized, and then find shelter because you will need it to avoid flying chalkboard erasers and chalk. Radio amateurs might have an idea. After all, they use polarization and deal with it mathematically. But what is it that lines up this way or that way when photons move at their normal speed?
