Pardon?! Relax man, it was a joke. I don't want to know if it is, or is not, resonance from the big bang. It makes no difference to me, or my understanding of the universe. I cannot apply it to anything I do.

Has got me wondering though. If it is enssentially an echo, wouldn't it be getting quieter?

Actually I was referring to Dave for employing my strategy of demanding proof when he over extended himself. He used the same strategy on you hence the comment directed at him.
I also understand the static to be cosmic noise
For all we know he 'echo'may be geting quieter - but on a cosmic scale

I heard this, and figured it must be posted here...

"In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice; in practice there is"

At the very least this should be put up in all engineering workshops at universities...

anyone know what portion of the electromagnetic spectrum humans can perceive?

The famous Buckminster Fuller quote will suffice (that line from that incubus song)

Its not all from the big bang, some is spewed out by our own and other suns and some is from lightening storms and man made sources.

Sooooo, it's getting louder?

If everyone used their clothes dryer at the same time and then we all ripped clothes apart on Dec 21 would scientists confirm that the sudden increase in static noise was the end of the world about to happen?

I dont know, it gets louder with solar flares and some frequencies ranges are getting pretty crowded. Arent stars still being born?

I have no idea whatsoever.

oh of course.

Sort of, technically we're still being born, but some/most of the stars being born in the night sky were born millions of years ago, it's just taken that long for the light to reach earth.
