Backtracking 14 CMB

So now to discuss the anisotropies (different colors)in the CMB. According to Wikipedia, there are two different types of anisotropies, primary and secondary. Primary anisotropies come from collisions of the light right before it was released to wander the universe. Secondary anisotropies come from interactions the light had with the gas since the formation of the hydrogen atoms that released them. But…then things get complicated…and my computer is broken. The screen went on the fritz and now it won’t show anything. I’ll have to figure this out tomorrow. I think I might have to ask my professor friend. So I’ll get back with you on that tomorrow. Sorry about the crappy entry.
