At Serious Play 2008, astrophysicist, cosmologist and Nobel Prize winner George Smoot showed stunning new images from deep-space surveys, and explained how these helped scientists to gain better understanding of the way the universe got built. Smoot focuses on the cosmic microwave background radiation – the ‘afterglow’ of the Big Bang. In his research, he uses data collected from satellites such as COBE and WMAP to probe the shape of the universe. In 1992, Smoot and his team at the University of California at Berkeley have discovered that the universe, which was previously thought to be smooth and uniform at the largest scale, is, in fact, anisotropic – varied and lumpy.

This is just a model   (01/26/10 - 19:45 - by Sergey)
...what is based on mechanical principals applied to matter which has
a mass. Big Bang? - This is a theory also which does not quiet fit to
principals of multidimensional space of quantum mechanic. So to me it
looks like it is not like a \"Big bang\" - built Universe but rather
like chain reaction of converting other dimensional energy in to what
ever we call matter which has a mass. There is no accidentally made
Galaxies or stars, there are laws applied to matter and they are too
accurate to say that everything built by accident. If Universe is
extending than it\'s not because it was blown up by mystical force out
of one who knows it come from piece of super dense dot of matter but
it looks like that another dimension building this reality using
existing laws to build and evolve. Lets skip word God to open mind if
you wish to.
