NASA - NASA Satellite Glimpses Universe's First Trillionth of a Second

"Scientists peering back to the oldest light in the universe have new evidence to
support the concept of inflation. The concept poses the universe expanded many
trillion times its size in less than a trillionth of a second at the outset of the
big bang.

This finding, made with NASA's Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP), is based
on three years of continuous observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB),
the afterglow light produced when the universe was less than a million years old. "

The idea of looking out and back into astronomical history is really
silly , childish and an enormous waste of time without applying the
Equation of Light correction,first applied by Ole Roemer as a tiny
observational anomaly in Jupiter's satellite Io.

The 21st version of the observational adjustment (EOL) relies on the
rotation of the foreground stars to the external galaxies using
supernova data as both a distance and time marker.

Cosmological modelling on the scale of galaxies does not even exist,not
even in outlines and this rubbish of looking back to the trillionth of
a second no longer impresses anyone,having no real roots and no
direction beyond theoretical wishful thinking.
