About 377,000 years after the Big Bang, the density of matter and photons in our Universe dropped to the point where photons were no longer likely to blast electrons away from nuclei. At this point, photons could travel freely throughout our Universe, which meant our Universe had become "transparent" to light (it had previously become transparent to neutrinos). The photons that became free to roam eventually reached our Earth, and are now seen as the CMBR.

When astronomers say that the universe became transparent years after the big bang what do they mean?
In the early period after the Big Bang, the universe consisted of a plasma of nuclei, electrons and photons. These protons were bound in the plasma and not free to move about. About 0.4 million years after the Big Bang, when the universe had cooled to around 4000 K, photons stopped being in thermal equilibrium with matter: the universe became transparent to photons - light could move about.
How long was it before the universe became transparent?
The universe became transparent approximately 380,000 years after the Big Bang, during a period known as recombination. At this point, the temperature of the universe cooled enough for protons and electrons to combine and form neutral hydrogen atoms, allowing photons to travel freely. This event marked the release of the cosmic microwave background radiation, which provides a snapshot of the universe at that time. Prior to recombination, the universe was opaque due to the dense plasma of charged particles.
Is it possible that the moon is transparent, and if so, what implications would that have on our understanding of the universe?
There is no scientific evidence to suggest that the moon is transparent. If the moon were transparent, it would challenge our current understanding of its composition and how it interacts with light. This could lead to significant revisions in our understanding of celestial bodies and their properties.
What is transparent eyeball?
The transparent eyeball is a metaphor used by American writer Ralph Waldo Emerson to describe a state of heightened awareness where an individual is completely absorbed in the world around them, feeling a sense of unity with nature and experiencing a connection to the divine. It represents a moment of clarity and insight where one feels transparent and open to the truths of the universe.
How did the early universe transition from black darkness to light?
The way I understand it, there wasn't "black darkness"; the early Universe was very hot, and therefore very bright. However, there was a time when the Universe was opaque (i.e., not transparent); when the temperature went below about 3000 kelvin, it started to become transparent.
What Sonic the Hedgehog comics are scourge in?

Is a mirror surface is transparent translucent or a opaque?

Is universe greek or latin?
Universe come from the combination of the Latin words unum which is "one" and versere which is "to turn". It literally means "turned into one", but is commonly translated as "all together".

Can you see through diamond?
Diamond is transparent to non-transparent, depending on the diamond.
How could the cooling of the universe over time support the theory that it is expanding?
OK, when our universe born it was much smaller and hotter and it was filled with uniformly distributed opaque fog of hydrogen plasma. Over the time when universe cools down electrons and protons together forms the neutral atoms and these atoms No longer absorb the thermal radiation and thus expansion of our universe from very first second to this date make our universe transparent instead of being opaque and by this way CMBR explain the expansion and evolution of our universe
