Although I support the concept of the big bang I also entertain the steady state general approach (without new matter being created part of the original idea). But not really in an effort to prove either right or wrong just to keep an open mind
.
I accept that defying common sense or logic is not really a good reason to simply drop an idea either
.
However I was surprised to read in Astronomy Feb 2007 Bob Brerman’s Strange Universe ..Missing Shadows.
He pointed to either a data or theory problem revealed by the absence of a Microwave background shadow in respect of some galaxy clusters. If the data is correct the only conclusions that can be draw is ..that such galaxies radiate suffice to cancel the shadow or they are outside the “light egde” formed approx 350,000 years after the big bang
. I just thought of another ..maybe those galaxies are better defined as being in another Universe..one that was there before the big bang???
Anyways leaving that aside has anyone any news and observations about the unbelievable significance of the apparent absence in some cases of “the shadow”??
