@psirockin2

psirockin2:

Galaxies are moving toward each other.

22west:

How are they moving toward each other?

psirockin2:

Actually it's a trick question with no real answers. A or B could be right Answer A's logic: Astronomers and physicists use both the evident expansion of the universe, visible via the moving of galaxies, as well as the *cosmic background radiation*, visible via red or blue shifting the visible spectrum of light. Answer B's logic: Astronomers, cosmologists, and physicists formulated the "Big Bang" theory to explain the observed expansion of the universe, the observed cosmic background radiation, and several other observations. Real scientists don't seek or use evidence to support a theory made up earlier. And red or blue shifting of visible light has nothing to do with the cosmic background radiation. So it's your call

OK I CHOSE B

22west:

sorry caps
