they aimed a radio antenna at the sky and noticed that no matter where they pointed it, they received the same steady microwave signal, which sounded like static. with the help of some princeton physicists, they realized that this wasn't any old static, rather it was very likely to be the spectral remnants of the big bang, the leftover vibrations from that initial explosion of densely packed energy that presumably gave us our universe. for this discovery of the cosmic microwave background, penzias and wilson received the nobel prize in physics in 1978. the connection to music lies in fourier analysis, or more properly, fourier analysis as it is created in the setting of a sphere, which is how we analyze the microwave background. fourier analysis as we've been describing it is about periodic functions, those regularly repeating patterns in time. fourier showed that these could be broken up into sinusoids of different frequencies. on a sphere, rather than get sinusoids, spherical symmetry leads to functions called "spherical harmonics," discovered by the great french mathematician pierr

antenna is that -- it was used. i was double-checking the recommendations for approval. there are typos, but i went back to double and triple checked that the radio frequency report was with specifications and consistent in the application. the report for this site at this location shows it has the correct model number. a lot of people have been talking to the manufacturer about it. people will often shorthand the model number. all the assessments were done. regarding rf verification, we have absolutely offered to do this at both of the appellants office -- houses. we hire someone. if there is another way to do these reports, we will happily comply. edison is a highly respected engineering firm in the region. we do this because we don't want people to be afraid of things there is no need to be afraid of. people do often have microwaves ,w, wi fi, routers, showing the residents that a baby monitors are another one. we have given the city the report showing the compliance with the fcc. we asked to uphold the permit based on those reasons as well as our compliance with the process and the permit under which it was granted. if you have other question
