No Shadow From the Big Bang?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the four-more-weeks-of-winter dept.

ultracool writes "In a finding sure to cause controversy, scientists at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) found a lack of evidence of shadows from "nearby" clusters of galaxies using new, highly accurate measurements of the cosmic microwave background (WMAP). Other groups have previously reported seeing this type of shadows in the microwave background. Those studies, however, did not use data from WMAP, which was designed and built specifically to study the cosmic microwave background."

    At this point in history, evolutionary biology is a certainty in the way that gravity is a certainty.

    Heretic! Don't you know that there's no such thing as gravity? All things are held in place by God's will, so that His flock may live without fear of being smitten by flying boulders.

    (Excepting brimstone obviously.)

    I hope I didn't mess that up too badly with poor grammar.

    No, it was the "not having any clue what the Big Bang theory is in the first place" where you went wrong.
