I believe that the attached immage is showing light refracting to cause constructive interference.

Jim, Would you happen to have any idea how much closer to our current location material would have been able to get and still be able to coalesce? It seems atoms must have come together everywhere that we can see but wouldn't the energies have been to high this side of 15by out? If it...

Wallace, Thank you. From what you have said it sounds as if we are on the young side of the CMB and that it is moving out from where it started. This would make sense to me. It is the way we would expect the thing to work. As I read what NASA has to say,however, it sounds as if we...

Pixel01, I had the same question. That was why I only said it was good evidence that those stars were orbiting. By infrence we would be as well. I think I could have said it better by saying it was evidence that either we or they were orbiting the galaxy. Either way it seems to be a...

Cvan, Thank you for your response. I believe you are right about the CMB immages that we see being a panorama type view. As we look out from the Earth we see the CMB coming from every direction. And, I think you are right in saying that it seems as if the inital event would have sent EMR...

Is it possible to have a photon with no energy left to tranfer? Would it behave differently?

Jon, Thank you. Yes I see what you are saying about the edge of the universe. If we are in the center of the CMB and we are seeing that radiation arrive from its point of origin and if it is coming from material ejected out by a Big Bang; it seems that we must be relatively close to...

-Light with higher frequencies has higher energy photons. Can the energy in light be increased by increased amplitude without increasing frequency? How can amplitude be increased without increasing frequency? - By photons traveling in phasae creating a constructive...

The stars in our galaxy appear to be redshifted on one side of the center of the milky way, and blue shifted on the other. This would be good evidence that stars in our galaxy orbit the center. The initial unadjusted data for the CMB looks like a ying-yang. It seems like this would be good...

Jon, Thank you for your time. I appreciate the response. I have a few follow up questions. I can see how the edge of the universe must be beyond the CMB but it seems like the CMB would be the edge of the observable matter.? - From the sources that I have read it seems to...

Phlogistonian, I could see momentum pushing but how can it pull?

Does the WMAP image show the edge of the universe, the edge of observable matter, both, or niether? Does the very even emission detection in all directions suggest that we are very near the center of the observeable universe? Am I correct in understanding that the immage is emitted from...

Thank you everyone for your time. I have checked out the links and read everyones comments. I would like to ask some follow up questions. 1. Am I correct in believing that the dominantcurrent theory says that the mediator of the electromagnetic force is the virtual photon? 2. Is the...

Is there any evidence that particles are exchanged to mediate the magnetic force? If there is how do these particles cause a one magnet to cause motion in a particular direction for another magnet? If there are no particles mediating this reaction how would a...
