Just one question and one remark. Q: ...a group of astrophysicists in the UK has found that this radiation - the microwave 'echo' of the big bang - may in fact have been modified or `corrupted' as it passed through galaxy clusters on its way to Earth Where from? (and please, spare the

Dear Stephen, thanks for the considerate reply and the basic consent. The facts you mentioned are indeed well known and at their onset I was also enthused (I am old enough for that) when I rethought all the gravitational discrepancies (galaxies would fall apart etc.) at that time. That was then,
