Pretty cool, but how come it's not all purple and shit when I look up into the night sky?

"It is possible to believe that all the past is but the beginning of a beginning, and that all that is and has been is but the twilight of the dawn. It is possible to believe that all the human mind has ever accomplished is but the dream before the awakening." - HG Wells

@1: Because this is the first microwave snapshot of the universe. There have been other snapshots, but shot in other spectral wavelengths.

The reason it's purple is because if it was rendered with microwave "light", you'd see absolutely nothing.

Oh, I know, Telsa, I was just making a funny.

That's nice, but where did all that black space the universe is in come from, and how did that come into being? Put another way, if you go to the end of the universe, will you fall off and, if so, into what? Where did that "what" come from and how long ago? Of course if those questions are answered, we will than need to know what contains the "what" the universe is in and when and how that began and on and on and on...

Can someone explain to me where all the hydrogen gas came from?

Vince on July 6, 2010 at 9:09 AM

@10 - My bad. I thought it was just going to be a little one and no one would notice.

@11 It was a BIG bang after all!

The name of the newspaper is "The Hindu" not "The Hindi".

Peter F @ 6: Yes, but the lyric is "Like a dream in the night, who can say where we're going?" ("More than this" - Roxy Music)

Based upon my experience with microwaves, I conclude the early universe was carelessly left wrapped in aluminum foil.
