Honored to have my animation of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) featured in @QuantaMagazine!https://www.quantamagazine.org/how-the-cosmic-microwave-background-reveals-the-universes-contents-20200128/ …

Additional thanks to @LucyIkkanda, whose criticisms made the animation much more appealing!

You should send this to Pierre-Marie Robitaille if you want more robust criticism! The animation is great but it probably doesn’t show ancient light. Rather microwaves emitted from earth’s oceans.

this is the literal signal detected by the PLANCK telescope, just mapped onto a sphere

Sorry to bother you but do you happen to have a reference handy where the flatness is inferred from the CMB? I just want to understand the details & I keep getting confused by stuff I read. TIA.
