Pretty good. I would point out that the color of the universe started out far up in the gamma part of the spectrum when the temperature was very high soon after the Big Bang occurred, and the peak wavelength descended as the temperature cooled towards that 3000 degree figure, about 310,000 years after the BB. So it was, to human eyes, incredibly actinic (blue-white) in color and descended through yellow to orange, at the point where the electrons got captured and it went abruptly transparent, but the sky still glowed in the orange, then red, then infrared, down to today's microwave.

White is a concept, not a color. Red, green and blue are colors - I can give you an EM radiation frequency for each of them. White is the combination of all the colors naturally occurring in the proportions that the sun has provided them for the past 200,000 years or so, (say the sum total of a 3000 degree black body) as modified by our atmosphere. So, yeah, at some point the universe (as seen from Earth) no doubt radiated at that temperature as it wound down from 10 billion to its current 2.7 degrees, and humans would have seen it as white. It would have been the equivalent to being in the center of a 3000 degree oven.

@@whatabouttheearth in which case there are only two options, either God is eternal or that the dense energy that originated the big bang is eternal in the sense of having no beginning, in which case understanding the nature of both, the question arises with the Big Bang event, which is that to produce the Big Bang a change would need to happen that triggers the event, which would mean that the energy might not be stable and being decaying for it to release energy (nuclear radiation), which would imply that an eternal state for the dense energy might not be possible because of change. But if we are to believe the initial property of a being with no begging that doesn't change, produced with his word (Gen 1 the source of creation is his word) Electromagnetic waves first (let there be light) then that could mean a release of extraordinary amounts of energy, similar to what commonly is described as the Big Bang. So the premise of a being who doesn't have a beginning might even explain the possibility of a Big starting point where lots of energy starts to expand... With this, I'm only following a natural conclusion to the statements above. Of course, that leads to the question of how can something be eternal? since we live under the common law of space and time than a being that is not ruled by space and time would be quite difficult to understand the nature of it... which is consistent with what the Bible explains on the nature of God...

One thing I can’t wrap my head around... aren’t the photons from the beginning of the universe (or at least when it cooled enough for them to escape the plasma clouds) moving away from us? How can we detect them at all? Are the photons moving away and also somehow shooting out in all directions, therefore “sending” some back the way they came in order to hit our measurement instruments?

@LecherousLizard

3 жыл бұрын

Congratulations for using your own head instead of taking what's being told at face value. There is no physical way for "the light from the beginning of the universe" to reach us without some way for it to bounce off and fly back at us, because according to the Big Bang theory all light and all matter at the beginning of the universe was expanding at the same rate. What instead happens is the same problem as the temperature of Sun's corona, which is said to be at some billions of degrees, which violates thermodynamic laws. All matter radiates electromagnetic waves is all spectrums, but in different amounts. This is why you can put a filter over our Sun like pseudoscientists do and say "See, it's 15 million degrees hot!", but when you put a different filter you'll be able to also say "Look, now it's only 6 thousand degrees hot!". CMB follows the same principle, but due to distance it's more prevalent, when you apply a correct filter. For example when you look at the night sky what do you see? 99% pitch black and 1% bright dots (+/- atmospheric interference). This is the visible spectrum. It's pretty high up there, so you can only see it coming from very hot objects. But the thing is that everything with temperature higher than about 2.7K radiates in the microwave spectrum. Yes, even you, Earth and every single speck of dust between asteroids. So when if you were to look at the night sky in microwave spectrum it'd be 100% bright with no distinguishable spots. This is CMB. And somehow they propagate bullshit that's it's some "ancient light from right after the Big Bang". So that is one reason why CMB is everywhere and, say, visible spectrum isn't, but what about the cosmological horizon or why there's less galaxies the further you go? Redshift is an increase in wavelength. Energy of photon is inversely proportional to wavelength, thus redshift is a decrease in photon's energy. How do you lose energy? Working against other forces. What photon could possibly work against in space? Gravitational fields of objects. As photons move away from gravity wells they have to lose energy to escape said wells, thus with enough distance photons can redshift completely into nothingness. This is the cosmological horizon and this is also why we can't see behind it in visible spectrum, but we can still see in microwaves. I hope this answers your questions and pushes you to further inquire about such topics.

​@@LecherousLizard Wait, nobody is saying that the CMB is coming from the moment of the Big Bang. According to the video, it's coming from light that existed at some time AFTER the big bang, call it 400,000 years after or so. I don't know the exact figure. It's taken about 13.5 billion years to reach us, because the "sphere" (was it a sphere?) that existed at that time has since been expanding, so the light from that period in time had to move through ever expanding space. It's only reaching us now because that's how long it's taken to move through expanding space, which also expands the massive red-shift of that light as time has passed. So, it's not that the photons had to bounce off of something for us to see it now. From the period in time they came from, those points were "around" us already, emitting in all directions, so what we are seeing is the period of time that happens to match how long it took that light to reach us. Once again, it's NOT light from the "beginning of the universe", it's light from things that were X distance some 400,000 years after the big bang. We were part of that goop back then, but not the center; there were things around us, emitting light, and a sphere around us (our relative position back then) was emitting light that is only just now reaching us. Light from other periods in time are also hitting us all the time, but the CMB is from a very specific period in time due to the distances involved. Make sense? Long story short, it is NOT bouncing off something so we can see it. It was simply emitted a long, long time ago to cross (rapidly) expanding space, which is why it's taken so long to get here. And the CMB really was from back then. How do they know? They can calculate the temperature based on the frequency of the wave, and the fact that it is uniform in all directions where there isn't an obvious EM source. While you are correct all objects emit light in the microwave spectrum, it is NOT true that it does so at the same wavelength. The frequency of the wave varies due to temperature. Based on calculations, the CMB is from a time period where the universe would have appeared orange to us, after accounting for red-shift.

@@LecherousLizard One more thing, the redshift of the CMB is due to the expansion of the universe, the expansion of space itself. I don't really understand your explanation of redshift "working against other forces". That doesn't make sense to me. It's more like the Doppler effect, where the waves are moving through expanding space and so they are "shifted" in the red direction (longer waves) because fewer waves reach us per unit time (due to the source being in relative motion away from us).

@@MrMegaMetroid Where to even start... Maybe I'll explain how CMB is obtained. The sky is measured in several distinct bands of microwave spectrum. This is essentially a 360 degree sphere around the satellite doing the measurement. Now, due to the fact we're a part of a galaxy (Milky Way) various parts of that sphere are essentially opaque. This largely depends on the band observed, but the higher (I think it was the higher, it's always a pain to find information about those bands) the frequency of the band in question, the worse the galactic interference is and in the highest bands measured it's... basically 100% of the sky. From there one needs to clean the image off those interferences. Problem is, only our own galaxy is taken into account and it's done quite arbitrarily for one simple reason. To obtain a weak signal from a strong noise you need to have either perfect knowledge of the source of the weak signal or perfect knowledge of the noise signal. We have neither. So what happens is that the initial microwave map is given a set of subtraction filters to create "anisotropy" maps. Those maps are then dubbed "CMB anisotropy maps" or "CMB" for short. They absolutely do NOT account for any of the billions of stars and galaxies that exist outside our own Milky Way and thus cannot be deemed as... what do they call it? "The oldest light"? Because that's simply not what it is, as any object above a certain temperature, even you, radiates in the microwave spectrum. The only thing CMB proves is that regardless of which direction you look, there are countless stellar objects.

That being said, it does seem extraordinarily unlikely in this case, that another race of animal from a different planet on our plane of existence have created something so massive that it emits microwaves from every conceivable direction we look. But, if we are a species that has evolved on what may be an electron of an atom as viewed from a higher dimension, it is possible that the radiation we see is residual energy from a microwave and we are atoms of three day old pasta, about to get eaten.

Unless there was a place which was actually significantly cooler than its surroundings, it would have been too hot for water to be in liquid form. The cool thing though would be that that time between 10-17 million years after the big bang, liquid water could exist anywhere in the universe with the proper pressure. It was also possible, but very very rare, for rocky planets to be already formed.

Kieron George "... too hot for liquid water ..." The short answer is yes, since the Universe was around 3000 K at that time, and hotter before then. The longer answer is that there was no water because there was quite literally no oxygen. Elements heavier than helium wouldn't exist for some hundreds of millions of years, when they were produced inside stars.

I wonder: Would there ever come a time in the universe when the CMB has ended - i.e. it has all radiated past us?

CMB caused by Big Bang is a self defeating concept. The "light from the beginning of the universe" had nothing to bounce of to be reradiated back at us, so how can we possibly observe it in the first place? The answer is, we shouldn't be able to. And that's why Big Bang is load of crap. CMB is a product of not only visible matter (i.e. all the galaxies we can see within the cosmological horizon), but also all the matter that's behind the cosmological horizon, but which has redshifted so much it left the visible spectrum. Note that in contrary to the "mainstream" cosmology expansion of the universe is NOT required to explain redshift, in fact it's redundant and could be the reason why "expansion is accelerating" (they are adding something that never existed and when they measure the same thing the next time, they also measure the thing you added before, thus it forever increases). Redshift is explained with nothing more, but the energy loss of photons due to effects of escaping gravitational fields. After all you can't change the speed at which photons propagate through vacuum (i.e. light), so how do you decrease energy of photon? The only variable is wavelength and by increasing photon's wavelength its energy decreases and increase in wavelength is what we call "redshift". So to answer your question: Only when there are no stars in the entire universe (and I mean ENTIRE, not just what we can see in the visible spectrum) to radiate more photons the CMB will end.

Well, to answer you with a little more intelligence than Mister Lizard was shoveling out, there really isn't a "past us" in that sense, as it's radiating from all over the universe. There _will_ come come time when the energy waves have lost enough "oomph" (from being stretched) that they will degenerate into radio waves, instead of microwaves. The length of the waves will have been stretched enough, by the expansion of space, to where they are so long that they will be in the radio spectrum, like the cellphone radio waves, shortwave radio, then FM radio, then AM radio, then CB and amateur radio bands, and on down to longer and longer waves.

Interesting, I had thought before of the Jewish mystical concept of "or haganuz", the primordial light of creation that became hidden from view and still permeates the whole universe. I thought that may fit concept of the "light" of dark energy, but microwave background radiation fulfills the role just as well. Also the requirement that once such light becomes revealed, "light will shine like day", since MBR is just as present with sunlight as it is without it.

And then #10-two and Doctor Donna, both from the human-timelord metacrisis, saved the day, except they had to leave #10-two in the alternate universe with Rose (which made her happy, at least), and then Donna had to have her memories removed, so the Doctor part of her wouldn't kill her human body... and I always ugly cry during that episode!

Ernest Choy, there was no big bang. The CMB is literally a photoshop creation and given a title by some imaginative artists who manipulated recorded data using all kinds of signal processing no-no's. The whole notion that the "background" picked up by our observations is a remnant of the primordial "big bang" is complete gibberish. Here's why. Our own galaxy produces so much noise on the plane of the galaxy that the background is hidden behind a foreground signal over 1000 times as powerful. It is impossible to pull a background signal from the foreground under that condition. The next problem is that the instruments creating the so-called background map at the shortest wavelengths have only a 0.25 degree resolution of the sky (NASA's own numbers). The lower frequencies have only a 1 degree resolution of the sky. In the case of the smaller, finer resolution region, there are over 1 MILLION galactic sources alone in each pixel, all of which produce signals like OUR galaxy that swamp whatever background signal there might be. Again, it is IMPOSSIBLE to separate the 1 MILLION galactic sources in each pixel from the measly background signal. Whatever these blowhards tell you about the CMB is nothing but BS. They literally have no idea what the background of the universe looks like.

@@t00by00zer So what about the ESA Planck mission? There have been several readings of the cosmic Microwave Radiation Background. Are you aware of the WMAP results? It verified the results from the COBE satellite. Also, the Universe is a prolific source of microwaves. The intensity of COSMIC microwaves is as great as the brightness of the Milky Way if we imagined the Milky Way to extend over the entire sky. How could we possibly cause any interference to such an uniform signal? The intensity of the background radiation had been measured at many different Wavelenghts. Before stating misinformation I really suggest you look at the original papers by Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson.

Raydensheraj, No matter which direction you point the Hubble telescope, or any telescope for that matter, and if you leave it in that position, gathering light for hour after hour, you will see an immense number of galaxies. (See Hubble Deep Field, or, Hubble Ultra Deep Field) The Hubble telescope has an angular resolution many orders of magnitude higher than any of the microwave satellites sent to study the "background." The WMAP images have a resolution of about .3 degree. Hubble has a resolution of about .05 arc seconds. In other words, Hubble has over 20,000 times the resolution of the CMB maps. And when I say "degrees" I'm talking about ANGULAR degrees. In every single pixel of the CMB there are over 1,000,000 galactic radio sources emitting radiation in the same bands studied by PLANK. You tell me, Raydensheraj, how does the NASA team of "scientists" ignore those galactic sources and arrive at a "background?" It is utter nonsense to make the claim that they are measuring the temperature of the primordial background. They are measuring the microwave output of TRILLIONS OF DISTANT GALAXIES! The galaxies cover the sky in every direction, varying in their distribution density somewhat, but on average, their distribution looks exactly like the CMB. What a coincidence!!! Have you ever bothered to look at the raw data from PLANK? I have. Their conclusions, and the final map put out for public consumption, is a complete joke, a total fraud.

Two questions, first the CMB was hydrogen atom formation, right? But there's a significant portion of helium which would have formed two 'bursts' of atom forming, He+ and neutral He. Did these have any sort of CMB signature or effect? Secondly, microwaves can be used to heat water, is it possible then to leave some sort of antenna just lying around, absorbing the CMB and harvesting its energy?

@pseudorandomly

Gareth Dean "... would have formed two 'bursts' of atom forming ..." The emission of the CMB wasn't an instantaneous event; but rather happened over a period of some 100,000 years. "... absorbing the CMB ..." The CMB is quite faint, but in principle, you can build an apparatus to gather and store the energy of _any_ electromagnetic radiation.

at 7:05 you say: "The light the plasma emitted then...just before it neutralized" What do you mean by light neutralizing? If the CMB is everywhere, how is it that it is seen at billions pf light years distance? Those to things seem contradictory.
