(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 ...
George Smoot, who shared the Nobel Prize for Physics in 2006 for his studies of the cosmic microwave background (CMB), died on 18 September at the age of 80. Smoot’s work on the blackbody form and ...
Nearly 400,000 years after the Big Bang, the primordial plasma of the infant universe cooled enough for the first atoms to coalesce, making space for the embedded radiation to soar free. That ...

350 years later Newton's Law of Gravity just got put to the ultimate test — here's how it did
Newton’s Law of Gravity just survived its biggest cosmic test. Scientists studied nearly 686,000 galaxies spread across 7 billion light-years. The result surprised even modern cosmologists. Gravity ...
A new analysis of ‘cool’ spots in the cosmic microwave background may cast new doubts on a key piece of evidence supporting the big bang theory of how the universe was formed. Two scientists at The ...
The cosmic microwave background (CMB) provides a snapshot of the primordial Universe, with tiny temperature fluctuations (anisotropies) encoding the seeds of large-scale structure. These fluctuations ...
