Ignorance of the Big Bang theory noted.

SNIP, as everything following was a fallacy)



"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."
