@FLRW wrote in post #412: The premise that the temperature of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation increased between 1941 and 1965 is based on a historical misunderstanding of early experimental measurements, rather than an actual physical increase in the temperature of the universe.
Upon my thorough inspection, your post appears to be more than 95% composed by AI (artificial intelligence). If the evidence I collected from your post accurately demonstrates your AI utilization, then your MIT augmented intelligence (AI) failed you miserably. Do not forget, you opened your post with “This is why SomRek’s IQ is approximately 45-47”, and I’m about to show your inferior intelligence quotient (IQ) even with the addition of your augmented intelligence (AI).
@FLRW wrote in post #412: The universe did not warm up; rather, scientists were using two entirely different methods that yielded slightly different numbers for the exact same static background.
You admit:
- they measured the same thing.
- they measured at two different times.
- their measurements differed.
These points aggregate into a Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation increasing temperature from 1941 to 1965 resulting in a logical inconsistency for the Big Bang Theory requirement for decreasing temperature (see post #376 for mathematical analysis demonstrating this fact).
@FLRW wrote in post #412: Because of this, there is no logical inconsistency with the Big Bang Theory’s requirement for a cooling universe. The difference in values is explained by how these two historic data points were collected:
Your MIT AI failed you, and in just your first few paragraphs, but your MIT AI folly runs even deeper, so I illuminate your logical inconsistency even further!
@FLRW wrote in post #412: 1. The 1941 Measurement (2.3 Kelvin) In 1941, Canadian astronomer Andrew McKellar analyzed the light absorbed by cyanogen (CN) molecules in interstellar clouds. He noted that these molecules were being excited by a background source, calculating a “rotational temperature” of space to be roughly 2.3 K. Crucially, because the Big Bang model was still in its infancy, McKellar did not know he was looking at a relic of the early universe; he simply documented the local temperature of interstellar space. Why this is not a contradiction
You omit, obfuscate, and try to deceive by using a statistical aggregation of McKellar’s median 2.3 K reading instead of his full measurements of 2.5 +0.9/-0.7 K or stated another way, McKellar (1941): M = {x ∈ R | 1.8 ≤ x ≤ 3.4} (see post #376 for details).
You wrote “he simply documented the local temperature of interstellar space”, so he measured and documented your CMBR, yet you proceed to claim it’s not a contradiction, yet McKellar’s measurements differ from Penzias and Wilson (1965): P = {x ∈ R | 2.5 ≤ x ≤ 4.5} or stated another way 3.5 +/- 1.0 K (see post #376 for details); therefore, the two researchers, McKellar and Penzias, measured the same thing, CMBR, and they arrived at substantively different ranges leading to a logical inconsistency with the Big Bang Theory’s requirement for a cooling universe.
@FLRW wrote in post #412: 1. Observational Margins of Error: Early mid-century astrophysics lacked the precise satellite instrumentation we have today. A fluctuation between 2.3 K and 3.5 K represents the technical margins of error inherent to ground-based radio telescopes and chemical spectrum analysis at the time.
I will summarize your argument as “Two scientists measured a right angle. Scientist Alpha used a protractor while Scientist Beta used the Pythagorean Theorem with a ruler. Both scientists determine a 90° angle on the same angle, years apart, decades ago. Logically, because we have better measurement tools now, Scientist Alpha’s measurement is inferior, even Scientist Beta’s measurements are inferior, so they must be excluded because I say they must be excluded”.
Your own mid-century imprecise satellite instrumentation argument in your current post busts your own prior Big Bang belief support arguments about VLBI (recorded in my response post #93) and about Einstein’s General Relativity with the 1919 solar eclipse (recorded in my response post #199 (see also post #61)).
You illogically fantasize that “2.3 K and 3.5 K”, 1941 and 1965 respectively, are the same thing, but those represent two separate statistical aggregation totals in two different decades with a result of an increasing temperature leading to a logical inconsistency with the Big Bang Theory’s requirement for a cooling universe.
Typical of you sorcerer scientists, you Illegitimately eliminate valuable data points, the 1941 data set and/or the 1965 data set, in order to conquer in a debate, but your deception is exposed. You, Mr. MIT AI IQ Scientist, are doing what your astrophysicist high priest Stephen Hawking wrote about in your star bible contribution of condemnation “a case of knowing the result they wanted to get, not an uncommon occurrence in science”.
@FLRW wrote in post #412: 2. Modern Verification: Modern precision satellites like NASA’s COBE and ESA’s Planck Observatory have measured the CMB’s true current temperature down to a definitive 2.725 K.
Your MIT AI IQ lacks the knowledge that Modern precision satellites like NASA’s COBE and ESA’s Planck are built on data from prior years and decades of data collection which means that your Modern precision satellites were calibrated with flawed data by way of your imprecise satellite instrumentation, as per your own admission in your “1. Observational Margins of Error” section above, resulting in your faith based, nay flawed fantasy, conclusion about a “definitive 2.725 K”.
Your “definitive 2.725 K” is a fraudulent statistical aggregation, not an actual universally uniform data acquisition of “definitive 2.725 K” temperature readings from all directions, and you scientist astronomer astrologers are known for throwing out data that disproves your preconceived notions with said elimination indicators recorded inside of your star bible’s studies. Your astronomer astrologers work their magical, mystical mathematical manipulations (statistical sorcery (making numbers disappear)) in order to arrive at their preconceived notions about CMBR, and their statistical sorcery is excruciatingly easy to locate because of phraseology, such as “outliers” and “compensating for”.
@FLRW wrote in post #412: 3. Proof of Cooling: Astronomers can test the Big Bang’s cooling requirement by looking at the CMB spectrum in the ultra-distant universe (looking back in time). When measuring the CMB temperature in galaxies billions of light-years away, the temperature increases linearly with redshift ((z)) exactly as predicted—meaning the universe was much hotter in the past and has been steadily cooling ever since.
Your red-shift cosmic distance ladder is broken because the “Energy Displacement inside E=MC2 regarding the Doppler effect for light a.k.a. red-shift” section in post #361 demonstrated that red-shift requires E to decrease while increasing C in E=MC2 resulting in light’s speed limit soaring beyond 186,000 miles per second, so your “galaxies billions of light-years away” are much, much closer than than “galaxies billions of light-years away”!
Considering your final sentence “When measuring the CMB temperature in galaxies billions of light-years away, the temperature increases linearly with redshift ((z)) exactly as predicted—meaning the universe was much hotter in the past and has been steadily cooling ever since” which it doesn’t because astrophysicist Geoffrey Burbidge, noted professor of physics and astronomy at the University of California at San Diego’s Center for Astrophysics and Space Sciences, with an international team of astrophysicists and astronomers produced the “The Discovery of a High-Redshift X-Ray-Emitting QSO Very Close to the Nucleus of NGC 7319” paper which explained their discovery of a quasar with an enormous redshift embedded inside a nearby to Earth spiral galaxy with far lower red-shift, so these two stellar objects that need to be the same distance away from Earth due to the collocation are simultaneously greatly separated because of red-shift (both conditions cannot be true). The galaxy is reportedly 300 million light years away while the quasar within the heart of the galaxy is reportedly several billion light years away (source is The Astrophysical Journal, issue 1, volume 620). Under this circumstance, your “galaxies billions of light-years away” is a leap of faith.
Your “Proof of Cooling” just went “poof”.
As I detailed in post #411, your Big Bang Theory is logically inconsistent, falsified, untestable, unparsimonious, and a leap of faith!
