宇宙的漫射光--关于发现之前和之后的微波背景:未决问题

The Diffuse Light of the Universe - On the microwave background before and after its discovery: open questions

Jean-Marc Bonnet-Bidaud

摘要:

1965年,人们偶然发现了一种新型的均匀辐射,它位于无线电波和红外线之间。这种散射辐射被称为宇宙微波背景(CMB),通常被解释为早期炽热致密宇宙中释放的化石光,构成了今天大爆炸宇宙学的主要支柱。人们已经付出了相当大的努力,从这种辐射的特性中推导出基本的宇宙学参数,这种辐射导致了一个令人惊讶的宇宙,它至少由三个主要的未知成分形成:膨胀,暗物质和暗能量。这是当前共识宇宙学模型的一个重要弱点,有理由对宇宙微波背景解释提出几个问题。我们能认为它的宇宙学性质是无可争议的吗?其他可能的解释是否存在于其他宇宙学理论的背景下,或者仅仅是其他物理机制的结果?为了质疑科学假设的有效性和理论与观测相比的不确定性,我们在这里研究了解释这种散射辐射仍然存在的困难,并探索了其他建议的轨道来解释其起源。我们讨论以前的历史概念的扩散辐射之前和之后的CMB发现,并强调我们目前的理解的局限性。

英文摘要:

In 1965, the discovery of a new type of uniform radiation, located between radiowaves and infrared light, was accidental. Known today as Cosmic Microwave background (CMB), this diffuse radiation is commonly interpreted as a fossil light released in an early hot and dense universe and constitutes today the main 'pilar' of the big bang cosmology. Considerable efforts have been devoted to derive fundamental cosmological parameters from the characteristics of this radiation that led to a surprising universe that is shaped by at least three major unknown components: inflation, dark matter and dark energy. This is an important weakness of the present consensus cosmological model that justifies raising several questions on the CMB interpretation. Can we consider its cosmological nature as undisputable? Do other possible interpretations exist in the context of other cosmological theories or simply as a result of other physical mechanisms that could account for it? In an effort to questioning the validity of scientific hypotheses and the under-determination of theories compared to observations, we examine here the difficulties that still exist on the interpretation of this diffuse radiation and explore other proposed tracks to explain its origin. We discuss previous historical concepts of diffuse radiation before and after the CMB discovery and underline the limit of our present understanding.
