Big Bang Question of sanity in black
26 Jun 2022ZEN Industries
The cosmic dark ages began 380,000 years after the Big Bang. At first, no stars or galaxies existed to emit light. But even after these objects began forming, their light remained shrouded because the universe was filled with a “fog” of neutral hydrogen atoms that absorb and scatter ultraviolet light.Over time, energetic ultraviolet light from early objects ionized these hydrogen atoms, knocking away their electrons. This era of reionization ended 1 billion years after the Big Bang, leaving the universe transparent to light.
But what types of objects (galaxies, black holes, or stars) were responsible for clearing the fog during reionization.
All it takes is one unknown variable to reduce the sanest man flying alone in all that endless, dark space to insanity. That’s how far the everything is from where I am. Just one unknown stupid variable. Good thing is... If I weren’t crazy, I’d be insane!
