Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation
(Photons in the Maximum 2 mm)
Decoupling of the photons from matter about 300 000 years after the Big Bang, when the electrons are captured by the protons and He4 nuclei and the
universe gets neutral. Photons move freely. Today: ~550 Photons /cm3 (~340 Neutrinos/cm3)
