Evidence for a very early "super rapid" inflation of the universe is that the 3° K radiation from opposite sides of the skyand (180 degrees about 28 billion light years apart)is of nearly ________ intensity.This distance is ________ the age of the universe in years.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR) is nearly uniform in intensity across the sky, suggesting that regions now far apart were once close together, supporting the theory of rapid inflation. The distance is greater than the age of the universe in years, indicating that these regions have moved apart faster than light could travel in the current age of the universe.
