Melbourne, Australia (SPX) May 22, 2014
An international team, led by researchers from Swinburne University of Technology, has found evidence that the Universe broke its rising 'fever' about 11 billion years ago. They measured the temperature of the Universe when it was 3 to 4 billion years old by studying the gas in between galaxies - the intergalactic medium. During these early years of the Universe's development, many extremely active galaxies were 'switching on' for the first time and heating their surroundings. "However, 11 billion ... read more
