Yes, I agree, my question is provocative :-)
However, take into account that the CMB is the only direct observation of the Big Bang. Hence, if the CMB is of another origin than a relic radiation, everything related to the Big Bang is questioned.
When I tried to publish my results, I first...
I agree, this is a very important argument. Here is my reply:
1. One of the first arguments against the dust theory was that the dust grains would radiate rather a gray-body spectrum than the black-body spectrum, because of a small size of dust grains. This theory assumed that the grains are...
Recently, the origin of the cosmic microwave background as a relic radiation of the Big Bang was questioned and an idea of the CMB as thermal radiation of cosmic dust was revived and revisited.
Under this theory, the temperature of the cosmic dust is predicted to be 2.776 K which differs from...
I am a physicist studying cosmological consequences of light extinction due to absorption of light by galactic and intergalactic dust. In particular, I am interested in the evolution of the early universe and in controversies and tensions in the Big Bang theory.
Thank you!
