The CMBR is microwave radiation coming to our Earth with the same intensity (to within one part in 100,000) from all parts of the sky. Its spectrum is exactly that of a black-body -- ie, like that of a glowing object -- at a temperature 2.7 degrees above absolute zero.

It is believed to be the remnant of recombination, 377,000 years after the Big Bang. No other hypothesis about our Universe can explain the CMBR other than saying, "It's just there and I don't know why it should be."

In the 1960s, microwave radiation was detected coming from space and no particular source, and this radiation was dubbed the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR).


What is the leftover thermal energy from the big bang?

The leftover thermal energy from the Big Bang is known as the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB). It is a faint glow of radiation that permeates the universe and is considered a remnant from the early universe when it was much hotter and denser. The CMB provides important clues about the early universe's properties and evolution.

How is Olbers' paradox resolved in the context of the expanding universe and the presence of cosmic microwave background radiation?

Olbers' paradox is resolved in the context of the expanding universe and the presence of cosmic microwave background radiation by understanding that the universe is not infinite in age or size. The expansion of the universe causes light from distant stars to redshift, making them fainter and cooler, and the cosmic microwave background radiation fills the universe with a uniform glow, accounting for the darkness of the night sky.
