Thus the spectrum peaks in the microwave range at a frequency of 160.2 GHz, corresponding to a wavelength of 1.9 mm. Most cosmologists consider this radiation to be the best evidence for the Big Bang model of the universe. It is real, present everywhere, has been there since the beginning, it’s energy, and is very colorful. So EMR or CBR has my vote for being named the ETHER. Pat |

What if this is just the
averaged wavelength of a much wider spectrum of radiation and cosmic particles as it works out from the Earths particular point of view? Or the 'mean' average?
And would it be unreasonable to say that the ether could/should/would vary in density in the same way that the atmosphere varies in density as one approaches a planet, with an atmosphere, from space, or, coming at it from the other direction, gets thinner as the climber ascends to the summit of a very tall mountain? This seems so much more logical than the idea of a homogeneously dense ether matrix as a uniform "background" across the entire expanse of space as established from one single event such as a "Big Bang." There is more evidence of variation in densities with the clumping and clustering of stars and galaxies and just the difference from deep space to planet and stars and even within planets and stars, than there is for a uniform gray-goo-same-everywhere sort of matrix or "background" for the ether.
