Abstract

Observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB)Radiation have put the standard model of cosmology, the Big Bang, on firm footing and provide tests of various ideas of large scale structure formation. CMB observations now let us test the role of gravity and General Relativity in cosmology including the geometry topology, and dynamics of the Universe. Foreground galactic emissions, dust thermal emission and emission from energetic electrons, provide a serious limit to observations. Nevertheless, observations may determine if the evolution of the Universe can be understood from fundamental physical principles. The COBE Differential Microwave Radiometer (DMR) has mapped the cosmic microwave background anisotropy and measured the primordial density distribution on super horizon scales
