(via Sabine Hossenfelder) In the Big Bang Theory, the cosmic microwave background — microwave-range radiation that floats through the entire universe at a steady 2.7 Kelvin — is evidence that a hot ...

The CLASS telescope array has taken a fresh look at the infant universe to hunt for polarized light in the Cosmic Microwave Background that resembles light bouncing off a cosmic car hood.

The standard model of cosmology relies on an accurate reading of the cosmic microwave background. This radiation, emitted 380,000 years after the Big Bang, is considered proof of the theory's validity ...

This afterglow—the "cosmic microwave background" (CMB), the relic radiation left behind by the Big Bang—has given astronomers insights into the birth of the universe and helped shape the ...

In a recent paper published in EPL, Edward Wilson-Ewing, a mathematical physicist at the University of New Brunswick, Canada, explores the interplay between loop quantum cosmology and a phenomenon ...

The cosmic microwave background (CMB) is the oldest light in the Universe, emitted approximately 380,000 years after the Big Bang. It is microwave radiation that uniformly fills space, a witness to ...

As they reported in a study in Physical Review Letters, researchers from the University of Manchester searched for hints by comparing the distribution of galaxies to the cosmic microwave ...

The Cosmic Microwave Background carries with it a record of events throughout the 13.8-billion-year history of the universe.

But in 1964, Bell Labs researchers Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson accidentally discovered the microwave remnants of the Big Bang, the cosmic background radiation, using the antenna, earning it a ...
