Called the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation, this afterglow was produced about 370,000 years after the big bang when the first atoms formed and has been studied in great detail by satellites, such as NASA's WMAP probe.

Cosmologist Hiranya Peiris of University College London and colleagues decided to test for a multiverse by examining the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation, a remnant of the big bang that provides a map of what the universe looked like some 380,000 years into its existence.

The time asymmetry will then explain why in the beginning the universe was so uniform, as evinced by the microwave background radiation left over from the big bang, whereas the end of the universe must be messy.
