Google Hubble white blanket and you 'll get many hits.

Corwin: @ Bobby - A good place to start (and much more informative and detailed than asking questions here) would be to study up on everything you can find by searching the term "Cosmology".
Cosmology is the branch of Science that combines Astronomy with Physics, and deals with the birth, chronology, and theories regarding the eventual fate of the Universe.
And of course, a better understanding of Relativity wouldn't hurt in regards to the role that our observations and the speed of light plays in all this.

Here's a few things I stumbled on that are an interesting read, with lovely diagrams and such, and plenty of links to click on and navigate deeper, but still just a scratch at the surface of this fascinating subject:

Also, a few good books to read, for us old-school folks A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking... Collapsing Universe by Isaac Asimov... and a more recently written book, Origins: Fourteen Billion Years of Cosmic Evolution by Neil deGrasse Tyson.
These are all fine examples of books written for the layman to get a grasp of things previously only understood by Cosmologists and super-geniuses.

Edit- Oh, almost forgot, Carl Sagan's Cosmos... not as recent as Tyson's contribution, but a great read.

Blackshoes: Thank You Corwin I will read .

I've already Read Carl Sagan Cosmos It wasn't as informative as I would have liked

Corwin: Yah... probably why I mentioned it last. There have been better books written on the subject since.

gronchbove: We had a here the other day

The colors were no longer fissiparous.

Corwin: Fissi what now?

I had to look that word up.

fissiparous
Pronunciation: /fɪˈsɪp(ə)rəs/ [adjective] - Inclined to cause or undergo division into separate parts or groups:

calybonos: Perhaps if will help you, Corwin, if I use it in a sentence.

I never was a big fan of French champagne.
I find the bubbles in those fizzy Paris wines tickles my nose.

Blackshoes: Watching the program" How the Universe 'Works yesterday .They cannot explain why the amount of Antimatter was not equal to matter during the expansion of the universe after the Bigbang ?
Thus we're here to ask this question ?

calybonos: I think it was due to budget constraints.

Jim Parsons (who portrays Sheldon Cooper) salary prevented the show from hiring any new characters.

calybonos: The Antimatter/Matter ratio is something that has plagued the screen actors guild for years, especially after the recent Academy Awards black/white controversy.

Blackshoes: So'. You believe I need to ask Sheldon Cooper ? Hmm

calybonos: Of course not. That would be ridiculous.
Sheldon Cooper is just a character in a television sit-com.

You need to ask someone like Chuck Lorre. He's one of the writers.

Blackshoes: Hmm ", maybe like Science says they don't have the answer ", So rather than saying we shouldn't be here .They just say it bewilders them

calybonos: Maybe. I don't know.

To tell you the truth, I forgot the question.

Blackshoes: My point is ', Science doesn't know everything '. Which brings me back to Light .

Evelyn99: Read the elegant universe by Brian Greene it’s written very informative and he uses funny and relevant things for us readers to comprehend. One of my favorite books
