    Is there something specific about the CMBR that makes it stand out from other radiation that did not originate from the Big Bang? They say something like 1% of the static on your TV comes from the CMBR. How do we know?

    B Understanding the Expansion of Space: Galaxies Moving Away and Proving Expansion

    This is an old thread but my understanding is that there is an idea from quantum physics that says that empty space may be teeming with activity at a quantum level. I thought this might be of interest to the OP if he is still around.

    lol. I guess Isaac Newton got me by about 300 years, not that I really figured it out on my own, anyway.

    I How Does Space Expansion Affect the Velocity of Galaxies?

    I'm not a physicist (as will become obvious the more I post here) but I watch a lot of Discovery channel. lol. Let's say we are looking at a galaxy at the edge of the observable universe (I know you won't find any there, but go with it). In that galaxy is someone looking back at us. We each...
