Cold Spot in CMB could be evidence for a multiverse
... it was initially given, say researchers. The cosmic microwave background (CMB) is radiation left over from the Big...zero (or -270.43 degrees Celsius), however this faint background glow does have temperature fluctuations and some anomalies; one ...

Researchers find substantial observational evidence for a holographic Universe
... have provided what could be the first observational evidence to support a holographic explanation of the Universe. The cosmic microwave background (CMB) is often described as the leftover radiation of the Big Bang and studies of this phenomena offer...

Light from the Universe’s first stars detected
... antenna not much larger than a refrigerator. The signal, which has left its imprint in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) – the background electromagnetic radiation that permeates the Universe – confirms that the ancient suns were active within...

Distant quasars help refine the rate of the expanding Universe
... not as fast as previously thought. The other method in which to provide a measurement of the expansion rate is to use the cosmic microwave background (CMB), the "fossil radiation" or "afterglow" of the Big Bang. Using this data, the team behind the...

Small box with big designs to find the missing matter in the Universe
... x 20 x 30 centimetre CubeSat known as HaloSat is on a mission to find the missing mass in the Universe. From data gathered on the cosmic microwave background (CMB), the oldest light in the universe that has been permeating space from around 400,000...

Hunting for neutrinos in the ice of Antarctica
.... Yet, there is hope. It has been postulated that a fraction of these charged cosmic rays will interact with the cosmic microwave background, the ubiquitous background residual of the Big Bang, close to the phenomenon that emitted them. In these...
