Leave it to you to insult what is otherwise a deliberate lack of quoting
the source on my part, just to watch your stupid knee jerk reaction.

Plagiarizing refers to publishing, and Usenet is not a publishing forum.
There bucko. But if you insist on wanting to know where it came from,
it is a quote sent to me taken from who knows where, but puportedly by a
teacher at the University of Berkely.

When you plagiarised the following, where did you steal it from?



"One of the most amusing examples involves the determination of the
presence of a background radiation that is uniform in all directions in
the heavens. Some few years ago a couple of scientists, at Bell
Laboratories as I remember, received the Nobel Prize for the discovery
that there was an absolutely uniform level of radiation to be found in the
sky, regardless of which direction you happen to look. Homeostasis. A
flat, constant coldness at around 3 degrees Kelvin. The fact that it was
both smooth and exactly the same in every direction was the killer
observation that finally provided the ultimate proof of the Big Bang
origin of the universe. Or so they said."

"And then, a few years later, some super detectors were put up in orbit
with orders of magnitude greater sensitivity. You know what they
observed? That flat background radiation wasn't really flat, but had
undulations and unevennesses in it. The fact that it was, in its fine
detail, uneven and variable was then advanced as the ultimate proof of the
Big Bang."
