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 ...

... times. So why does this constitute a problem? The answer is that, in order to account for the uniformity of the cosmic microwave background, cosmologists have embraced the idea of ‘inflation’… and inflation theory suggests that there was a huge, and...

New measurement deepens mystery of Universe’s expansion rate
... called Cepheids, which pulsate at regular intervals. The other uses the oldest light we can see, the cosmic microwave background. This latter method involves mapping slight temperature variations in the thick, soupy plasma that filled the...

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...
