TURIN, Italy — A sharper view of the early universe than any other image has captured so far was released July 5 by the European Space Agency. Its Planck satellite, launched in May 2009, has been sweeping the sky to record microwave radiation, the remnant glow from the Big Bang, which created the universe about 13.7 billion years ago.
Planck’s new image, recorded at nine frequencies, depicts subtle variations in the universe’s temperature at different points in the sky, reflecting the distribution of matter when the universe was 380,000 years old. At that time the initial cosmic fireball receded, allowing radiation to flow freely through space. Patterns within the cosmic microwaves provide clues to the history of the universe, including the formation of galaxies and their growth into huge structures. Planck data will also help pin down even more precisely various properties of the cosmos, such as how old it is and what mix of various forms of matter and energy it is made of.
In the Planck map, the white and blue areas represent foreground interference from the Milky Way and other galaxies; that data must be subtracted before the primordial microwaves (represented by the yellow and reddish portions of the image) can be fully analyzed. Do not attempt to analyze the visible portion of the primordial microwaves on your own, though. This image has been intentionally degraded to prevent scientists not on the Planck team from drawing any premature conclusions, Nazzareno Mandolesi, the principal investigator for one of Planck’s instruments, said during a news conference in Turin at the ESOF 2010 conference, organized by the Euroscience Open Forum.
Positioned at a gravitationally stable point 1.5 million kilometers from Earth, the Planck satellite should ultimately improve measurements of basic cosmological data by a factor of five compared with NASA’s WMAP satellite, which was launched in 2003 and has provided the most precise microwave background information available so far.
Planck’s new map was based on six months of sky sweeps. ESA plans to release findings on some matters of astrophysical interest by early next year, Mandolesi said, but results on major cosmic questions are not planned for public release until 2012.

Well gee thanks! But take me off your Christmas list.
There is evidence even now of great inflation on the atomic scale, as nuclear matter dissociates in the compact cores of stars and galaxies because of neutron repulsion:
a.) Neutron star =(neutron emission)=> Free neutron
b.) Neutron =(neutron decay)=> H+ + e-
In this last step, the atomic volume increases by a factor of 1,000,000,000,000,000 = Volume(H atom)/Volume(Neutron)
Expansion may not have been limited to the period after the hypothetical Big Bang.

The universe is a double torus.
A new cosmological Twin-Tori Model predicts the universe is a double torus. The big bang is a “deceptive appearance“ in this Twin-Tori universe. The double torus exists of a dark energy torus, which encloses and interwines a dark matter torus.
Intuition, analysis and new mathematics of three scientists, Dan Visser (Netherlands), Christopher Forbes and colleague (England) proclaim that the shape of our universe is a torus of dark energy, which encloses and intertwines an inner located torus of dark matter (see the attached illustration DaniDoubleTorus). In the dark matter torus also the visible- and baryonic matter is located (e.a. protons and neutrons). So, we might live in a double torus universe.
According to Dan Visser the new model also predicts the big bang to be a "deceptive appearance", because the dynamics of the double torus "simulates" a premordial expansion, which is conventionally observed as a space-accelerating universe at present. The new model is described in a few "papers", published in the viXra-archive. Meanwhile a higher-order-mathematics is under embargo-developement of the scientists, which will introduce a new mathematical machinery for a double torus universe.
However, according to Dan Visser something remarkable is at hand. Therefore, it is of crucial importance, you don’t imaging yourself in a big bang universe, but in a double torus ! In a first thought you would think, while being located inside that inner dark matter torus, that one side of the image is more intensely detailed with “spixels” (temperature variations) than the other side. This because of the bending of the inner torus, while looking forward. Then the observation of “spixels” is thought to be closer nearby. This was the first note Dan Visser made on of May 28 2010 (see the handwritten notes on his website). Looking further away in the inner-torus, by trying to follow the bending, you would expect to observe less details, because "spixels" are further away. However, this May 28-note could be an ommissional way of expectation, as Dan Visser suggested later on. The Planck-satelite looks equally sharp in every direction !! The image also should show a wider band at one, or the other side of the image, because of the bending of the inner torus !! Surprisingly, if you look at the image of the Planck-satelite, then indeed the image shows an averaged slightly thicker band at the right side compared to the left side!! It involves also several object-structures outside the Milkyway, which are effected by the bending. So, the bending of a torus could cause this difference in thickness. Allthough first held for ommisional, even the CMB-parts of the image could give a bending image, because of the bending of the torus.
Then Dan Visser got a bright new idea: Directly derived from the Twin-Tori Model, he showed an interesting equation, which seemed to emerge a general dimension for the CMB-radiation of the double torus. The very interesting equation is the ratio of the amount of dark energy and dark energy force. The result pleads for the Twin-Tori Model to be a reliable physical model, because The CMB is expressed as part of the Twin-Tori Model.
Dan says: “The Twin-Tori Model will soon change cosmology drastically“. The mathematical machinery of a "complete new Twin-Tori-(sub) quantumgravity" is “cooked in the kitchen”, under embargo of Christopher Forbes, his colleague and myself, and will be served at “dinner-time”.

When the universe was 380,000 yrs old the points and the matter at those points were no more than 380,000 lyrs (light years) from the center of the VISIBLE universe. All the matter now in the visible universe was compressed inside that sphere with the 380,000-lyr radius. Any matter (A) 76 thousand lyrs from the center was receding at 0.2c. Matter (B) twice as far from center as A was receding at 0.4c. Matter (C) twice as far from center as B was receding at 0.8c Matter at the points in the Planck map was receding at near the speed of light.
The distance between the photons of the CMBR that Planck intercepted and the center of the 380,000-year-old universe was 380,000 light years. It has taken more than 13 Gyrs (billion years) for those photons to cover 380 thousand lyr distance, because space kept increasing all that time. However, the photons were never in those 13 billion years farther from the center than 390 thousand lyrs/
On the other hand, from the points on the Plank map from which the intercepted photons came, other photons started traveling in the opposite direction away from us toward galaxies 380,000 lyrs away (matter (D) receding from us at 2c). The distance between all those photons and the center of OUR visible universe increasing at twice the speed of light through space.
Conclusion: In an expanding universe, the speed of light is constant only relative to SPACE, but changeable relative to an observer depending on whether the distance between a photon and its observer is decreasing or increasing.

Galaxy clusters are, rationally and commonsensibly, the archetypes of original cosmic Newtonian bodies. They move and accelerate Newtonianly.
They move and accelerate Newtonianly because they evolved at the start of inflation from the mass
just resolved from energy. They evolved by dispersion of the resolved mass into particles that became galaxy clusters. Their dispersion was/is fueled by mass reconverting to energy. At singularity, at D=0, all cosmic energy was in mass format. The start of inflation was the start of mass-to-energy reconversion, the start of gravity and of the clusters' acceleration against gravity.

Its called putting a magnetic field or a magnet in the centre of a space ship, then do split second blast of gauss hitting the magnetic field pulling it forward.
so the magnet or magnetic fields are ether behind the blast of gauss, or up & under it. that stops it from destroying the points.
The other way is by putting a magnetic or magnet on top of the space ship, then 1 out in front on a rail under the space ship at a different spot. they pull to each other, or 1 can pull to metal, & when a split second blast off gauss happens, it will push the ship forward every split second making it go faster & faster non stop.
so you can also use a magnet instead of a magnetic field, if need be.
German scientist made a 500,000 / 1 million gauss magnet. you can do ether of them on the space ships with magnetic field or a magnet on you photo wall.
The other thing is a MRI scanner on the space ship that will spin around the metal balls making it suck away everything in front of it.
if you can look at the photos, you will under stand it a lot better then my terrible writing.
keep in mind you can make reloading systems & can even use carbon fibre to hold things in place.
This is a photo of 1 way on facebook on SCI-FI SCIENCE PHYSICS OF THE IMPOSSIBLE. its 1 of Michio Kaku pages where i posed some photos. you will have to like his page to look at the drawings.
or the other way that is diffident / a different way & also has the MRI with the metal balls that takes everything in front of the space ship.
the other photo show's you what the MRI scanner with the metal balls will do.
so even putting a electric field as the blast out part to hit the field, like i have said to do if the gauss will not work / EMP anything really.
for a start The idea of a periodic motion system between the magnetic field and the centripetal acceleration, does pose an interesting mathematical problem, if you swap the magnetic field for an electric field.
well Centripetal and electric forces vary according to distance at different rates, however, mathematically one can ask if there can be a system where the two balance out, or, more specifically oscillate as a result of the two forces.
I believe away like this will work in the future.
