Questions About the Big Bang

RE: Questions About the Big Bang
(July 11, 2016 at 2:19 pm)Alex K Wrote: The temperature and fluctuations of the cosmic microwave background, the cosmic redshift of supernovas, the structures found in large scale galaxy distributions and the abundance of light elements together give us enough data points to fix the age very precisely, and to be very certain that the universe was once hot and dense.
Remarkable. I’m reading about the CMB right now. So it seems that was your primordial soup of loose fermions and bosons that eventually combined into atoms. I wonder, is the CMB showing up in the red, i.e. moving away? And why is it called recombination, as if it had happened before?

I want to read further to get a better understanding of how the CMB is an “echo of the Big Bang.” So far, my lay conclusion is that the isotropic nature of the CMB supports Jonathan Strickland’s (author of Min’s link) statement that this was not an explosion.

I will look at the other things you listed, but not tonight. Going to bed, g’night. Sleep tight.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.
