(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 ...

For the first time, astronomers have used a ground-based telescope to observe polarized microwave light from the universe's earliest epoch. Their observations could give them a better understanding of ...
