It verifies the Big Bang Theory.
The discovery of the cosmic background didn't verify anything, least of all the Big
Bang Theory, which was proposed decades later.
The discovery of the cosmic microwave background was important because it was
not predicted, it was not expected, it verified nothing, it could not be explained, and
it therefore touched off new directions of thought and research in Physics, Cosmology,
and Astronomy. Those in turn led to new discoveries, new answers, new theories,
and new questions.
One set of these, arising from the discovery of the CMB and other things, is the
Big Bang Theory.

Why was cosmic background radiation an important discovery?
It is important evidence of the Big Bang.
Did the Hubble discovery come before cosmic background radiation?
Yes
What caused the cosmic radiation background?
The big bang caused the background radiation.
Why the cosmic background adiation was an important discovery?
It helped prove the big bang theory.
Which theory of the universe did the 1964 discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation support?
I didn't check the year... But the cosmic background radiation is said to support the big bang theory, because it agrees with the radiation that is expected from an expanding Universe.
The discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation and primordial helium gas was scientific evidence supporting what theory?
The 'big bang' theory.
What is the leftover thermal energy from the big bang?
The radiation left over from the big bang is found in the microwave region of the electromagnetic spectrum. As the universe expanded and cooled, the intense hard gamma radiation that existed became radio waves in the low gigahertz region, characteristic of a temperature around 30 Kelvin.
What does the uniformity of cosmic radiation imply about its source?
The source of cosmic background radiation filled the entire universe.
Cosmic radiation and radiation from terrestrial sources are examples of?
Natural background radiation
What are the weaknesses of cosmic background radiation?
the weakness of cosmic back ground radiation as those radiation are left over of big bangs
What is primordial background radiation?
Primordial background radiation is in actuality Cosmic Microwave Background. To discover just what Cosmic Microwave Background theories are, visit the URL posted below:http://www.astro.ucla.edu/~wright/CMB.html
The heat left over from the beginning of the universe is?
cosmic microwave background radiation.
