What they see there is a uniform source of microwave radiation from every single point in the sky. This background radiation is one major piece of evidence for the big bang. This radiation was first predicted to exist by hypothesis, and then the evidence was found showing that it does indeed exist. When a scientist's equations predict something, and this prediction is shown to match facts that are gathered later, that is usually a good sign that this scientist is on the right track. one article on the web discussing this is http://map.gsfc.nasa.gov/m_uni/uni_101bbtest3.html Last edited by Slartibartfast; 12-15-2003 at 08:58 AM. |
