    Yes this is a reupload. I fixed some errors in the video. Why were there errors, you ask?! Making frequent science videos is a complicated process:
    - I don't know everything in physics
    - Sometimes I work too fast and the facts suffer. Plz send your thoughts and prayers to the facts
    - I don't know how to spell homogeneous

    One of my favorite things I learned about CMBR in undergrad physics is what it means to detect a uniform temperature, no matter where we point the detector. As I remember it, the uniform temperature is a critical piece of evidence for the Big Bang. If it wasn’t an explosion from a point source, then we’d be able to detect different temperatures across the background - but since it’s a uniform temperature no matter where we point the detector, then the universe is expanding at the same rate in every direction, and therefore is the result of a Big Bang. I was hoping you’d mention that, and now I’m wondering if I have it wrong. Also, thank you so much for making these videos!

    Assuming the CMBR is a nice legible signal as depicted at the beginning of the video, what would happen if you used multiple time-synchronized detectors to determine the direction of travel of the signal? Presumably the answer is as simple as "the CMBR does not form a nice legible signal and is effectively noise at all frequencies such that no two signals, even when time-synchronized, can be compared by either the direct time-domain signal or by its spectral decomposition."

      1) Do you know who Procol Harum are?
      2) Your calculation of the color chart at 4000k being pale orange is based on current cosmological conditions. Pressures at the time of the recombination greatly exceed those now experienced and may
      have drastically altered wavelengths at that time giving a different 'color' for temp.
      Just a thought.

At the time, the science textbook I learned from presented the big bang theory alongside the steady state theory. but with discovery of the CMB the steady state theory fell out of favor.

    Fun fact - the "temperature" of the background (2.7 K) corresponds to a light frequency of 56 GHz. That's actually *more* energetic than a typical household microwave oven (which operates around 2.45 GHz, the same as a lot of wifi devices). If you could concentrate the CMB with a giant microwave magnifying lens, you could actually heat up food (or pop popcorn) with it!
    (e\ the 2.45 GHz of your wifi or microwave has an equivalent temperature, via the Boltzmann constant, of only 0.12 K)

    But can't we just measure what we can see, or rather what our instruments reach? What if there's more Universe beyond the, well, Universe and we simply can't see it and therefore measure because the light is too far and expanding too fast to reach us?

    Hello physics girl I am impressed by your ability to describe such different topics in physics. Many of your videos I have watched and my knowledge has been pieced together into a good overall picture.
    Now I have some curious questions that I hope you want to answer about this video.
    1.It seems strange to me that the temperature "only" goes down to minus 270 degrees but in stars the temperature can be millions plus degrees. I have read somewhere that the electrons can no longer jump between different shells in the atom and therefore the reaction stops, or are there other reasons. But metals become superconducting so the magnetic force cannot disappear and thus neither can the electric field force?
    2. Does any change in gravity occur or does it have the same impact in minus 270 degrees, or does it become dark energy that controls?
    3. From what I understand, no more matter can be created in the universe but what comes into being in the big bang, elemental particles are reshaped/merged into stars.
    But surely when the universe expands, "voids" should be created between matter, and surely this void should consist of "something"?
    Is it the "time" that has elapsed that is the void, but is it this "time" that we cannot yet measure as matter?
    Many Greetings from Sweden

      Basically: relative to the path the Earth would follow if it were to perfectly flow with the universe's expansion.
      The Earth orbits the Sun, and the Sun orbits the Milky Way, and the Milky Way is attracted to nearby galaxies (like Andromeda). This movement is evidently different from what the Earth would do without those other factors. In that case, it would perfectly flow with the universe's expansion.
      Imagine your surrounded in a circle by those tennis ball dispensers. They are all constantly shooting their tennis balls to the center at the same velocity. If your standing still w.r.t. the tennis ball dispensers, then every tennis ball from any direction would hit you just as hard. But if you started moving in some direction, the tennis balls in that direction would hit harder compared to those from the opposite direction. The tennis balls are the light from the CMB and the tennis ball dispensers are the stuff where that light originated from. You are the Earth in the middle. That's how we measure our speed relative to the CMB.
      Of course in this analogy there is no explicit 'expansion of the universe' but I hope you get the picture.

    I've always wondered why everyone talks about CMB as the beginning of the universe (implying the red-shifting has only so far stretched to microwave levels) but _nobody_ went ahead to test for lower wavelength backgrounds. After all, light that already existed in the microwave band at the beginning couldn't have remained microwave after all this time, correct? Sure they would've red-shifted to longer radio wavelengths by now.

    if you use microwaves to hear food up, why can you not some other wave to freeze or at least fast cold. always wondered about this. instant ice cream instead of waiting hours for the same product.

    I am, sadly, one of Sheldon Cooper"s "Dirt Diggers" and have been so for almost 40 years (B.S. Earth Sciences, Penn State 1981 and Georgia Tech, M.S. Seismology, 1991). Thus, I note that I am very grateful for your funny, but very educational video shorts. Thank you and best wishes!
