Q&A 116: When Will the Cosmic Microwave Fade Away? And More... Featuring James Davenport
In this week's questions show, I answer when the cosmic microwave background will shift into radio waves, what the Sun would sound like if space was filled with air, and limits of our knowledge about planets through simulations.

I wonder about those ocean based telescopes. I think the idea is to mount them for example on old oil platforms, which are based on the ground. So they are not subjected to the movement of the waves. And they have hardly any light pollution. Although I could imagine that the water reflects a lot of the light also from the night sky.
That picture of all those baby star systems is absolutely amazing!
Fraser, I think you missed the point in flashcobra89's question about transmitting a signal 'in all directions', because a ground based transmitter can only transmit to half of the Earth's sky (the Earth being in the way of the other half). I think he was asking about ALL directions at the same time, which would mean transmitting from the other half of the Earth's surface as well
Hi Fraser. Why the Video has only 240 and 360 resolutions?
It was just uploaded, so it needs some time to produce higher resolutions?
