The CMB’s [Cosmic Microwave Background] patchiness reveals how lumpy the primordial Universe was. If the Big Bang theory is correct, those little lumps should have grown into big lumps called galaxy clusters. Yet “we only see half as many big galaxy clusters as predicted.”
The Universe’s birth refers to the time when the theorized Big Bang occurred. The assumption that the radiation broke free of matter refers to when matter cooled to a low enough temperature for electrons to combine with nuclei forming neutral atoms. This combination and the absorption of free electrons, caused the Universe to become transparent. Before this time, according to Big Bang theory, the entire universe was a thick opaque cloud of plasma consisting of independent electrons and nuclei. As the universe expanded, it eventually cooled enough to allow the plasma to become atoms. Compression of a gas causes its temperature to rise. Expansion causes its temperature to decrease adiabatically (occurring without loss or gain of heat).
Chown explains that the cosmic background radiation relates to the smoothness problem because variations in its brightness over the sky indicates that clumped matter was produced, scientists believe, 380,000 years after the Universe’s creation by the Big Bang occurred. Theorists run the history of the Universe forward from this 380,000-year event when electrons combined with nuclei forming neutral atoms. They then estimated how gravity and dark energy amplified the primordial clumpiness into today’s clumpiness. When this was done, and the results were compared to reality, they discovered that today’s Universe is about ten percent smoother than the Big Bang theory predicted.
It is now well-documented, judging from the cosmologists referenced above, that it is irresponsible to make naturalistic claims, such as the Big Bang is unequivocally fact proven by science. The main problem is, instead of studying the Universe to understand its construction, physics, and chemistry, cosmologists are now attempting to document the origin of the universe by using purely naturalistic means. This, in the long run may fail as it has likewise failed in understanding life on the Earth." CEH
