Microwaves from the Big Bang / Reading about cosmic radiation is like a prayer — for what better way of utterly resigning to your place is there than this: the micro-tremble moving through your heart that carries in it the resounding boom of the start of everything — the white glow of primordial light, red-shifted to a harmless fibrillation. @verse by MR GPT-Explainer: The Big Bang, the event believed to have started the universe, left behind signals that have stretched out over time as the result of a phenomenon called "redshift". It's like how a car's sound becomes deeper as it moves away from you. The Big Bang signals are so ancient that they have redshifted from light to microwaves. These microwaves are everywhere—even passing through your heart right now. This realization transforms scientific awareness into a religious experience, making reading about cosmic radiation feel like a prayer.
