There is considerable structure in the universe, from stars to galaxies to clusters and
superclusters of galaxies. The famous "Deep Field Image" taken by the Hubble Space
Telescope, shown below, provides a stunning view of such structure. How did these structures
form? The
Big Bang
theory is widely considered to be a successful theory of cosmology, but the
theory is incomplete. It does not account for the needed fluctuations to produce the structure we
see. Most cosmologists believe that the galaxies that we observe today grew from the
gravitational pull of small fluctuations in the nearly-uniform density of the early universe. These
fluctuations leave an imprint in the
c osmic microwave background radiation
in the form of
temperature
fluctuations
from point to point across the sky. The WMAP satellite measures these
small fluctuations in the temperature of the cosmic microwave background radiation, which in
turn reveals the early stages of structure formation.
Hubble Deep Field Image:
In its simplest form, the Big Bang theory assumes that matter and radiation are uniformly
distributed throughout the universe and that general relativity is universally valid. While this can
account for the existence of the
c osmic microwave background radiation
and explain
the origin of
