YO

WASSIP?

I have no way to respond to that. :P

 

Seriously... that graph represents one of the most MIND-BLOWING things in science. Do you know what it is? I can explain. It's fucking mind-blowing. Your mind will have been blown.

My mind has not been blown, what is it? :disappointed:

HEDWIG

wighead

HAWT.

HEAD WIG LOLZ

 

BAI, I feel like crap.

Love ya Tammi :nice: :love:

HEAD WIG LOLZ

 

:wideeyed:

 

I have to get my cat a wig.

Hi Emma :wacko:

Hey :wacko:

 

Brb, I got to go change in to my pajamas. *swoooosh*

BAI, I feel like crap.

Love ya Tammi :nice: :love:

 

I love you too, hope you feel less like crap gurrrrrrrrrrl. :lips:

:wideeyed:

 

I have to get my cat a wig.

 

Do it.

And a beret and a fake mustache. :wacko:

 

I remember that time when we coloured my friend's dog with blowpens. :wacko:

 

Hi Emma :wacko:

 

Hi Emma wacko

You turned off smileys? :lips:

I miss my old pajamas, but they got a huge hole in the crotch area that couldn't be fixed. :disappointed:

No :lips:

My pajamas is a huuuge, old T-shirt.

Wait before I go,

WHY ARE YE TALKING WITH CORK ACCENTS?

:uhoh: I'm reading it as if it were like that :laugh3:

Gurrrl and Bai.

Lol I hate my accent.

My mind has not been blown, what is it? :disappointed:

 

Okey, simply put, the people who first came up with the idea of the Big Bang theory had a particular graph of the way cosmic background radiation -- basically, how hot the universe should be everywhere. (Because an explosion of the entire universe from an infintesimibly small thing is a big fucking deal and would release an umbelievable amount of energy in the form of heat.) The people who came up with the Big Bang theory had a graph of what cosmic microwave radiation would look like. (Cosmic microwaves are basically the oldest light in the universe.) That graph is the line part of that picture. I don't honestly understand the equation in the upper right but I assume it models the graph.

 

There was a mission called the COBE mission (standing for COsmic Background Explorer, the name of the satellite doing the observation) and it started collecting data points for cosmic microwave radiation. Cosmic microwave radiation is basically the oldest light in the universe... so according to the Big Bang theory, basically from when the universe was hottest. And the people who came up with the Big Bang theory had that graph of what it would look like. And then, the COBE people started gathering data on it, and they compared it with that graph, and that's all the tiny little dots on the line. In other words, EACH DATA POINT falls essentially EXACTLY on the line. In this representation of the graph the error bars are too tiny to be seen. Actually the reason they are too tiny to be seen most of the time is that they are EXACTLY ON that line.

 

So basically it proves that the universe was really hot everywhere in the early universe. It's one of the strongest pieces of evidence for the Big Bang theory that basically anybody could hope for. It's harder to explain the more complicated stuff but it's one of the most amazing examples of experiment agreeing with theory ever. When it was shown in front of a room of astrophyisicists every one of them spontaneously stood up and started clapping for like ten minutes straight. Because it is that unbelievably awesome. Nothing ever agrees with a theory to that extent.

 

:nice:

I want to hear your accent. :P

I was waiting for this essay.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

 

It's especially amazing coz it's so hard to get evidence for physics theories these days, since most of them are about the early universe or stuff that is too small to observe.
