Nobody here is claiming they *know* cosmology. And I highly doubt that anyone here is capable of stopping all forms of research.

No, because you ask a question, get a good explanation, and then summarily dismiss it and call people "drunk" and "unscientific". You then continue to ask the same question. That is called "trolling" and it is a troll tactic if used intentionally. If it was unintentional on your part, then I retract my remark though that would present a different problem.

Quote:
Your explanations are not scientific but insulting.
ahem...
Can you explain how the explanations that were recently given to you are unscientific?
Quote:
I asked for scientific explanation or possible evidence that you may have to support the BBT.

Again, do you wish to discuss it ?
I think that is all anybody here wants.

As far as WMAP "cold spots" are concerned, let's look to the source:

Quote:
The cosmic microwave temperature fluctuations from the 5-year WMAP data seen over the full sky. The average temperature is 2.725 Kelvin (degrees above absolute zero; equivalent to -270 C or -455 F), and the colors represent the tiny temperature fluctuations, as in a weather map. Red regions are warmer and blue regions are colder by about 0.0002 degrees.
WMAP Mission Results
(bolding mine)



As far as normal distribution is concerned, I'm not too knowledgeable on how this applies to cosmology, so perhaps my questions might seem ignorant.

Why is it important that WMAP show a normal distribution?
What about all the other statistical distributions?

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
