The CMB is an image of that time, and should show a uniform temperature (as tests had indicated).
-
The CMB is the domain where the opaque plasma stage of the universe ended, and is the surface of last scatter.
-
Yet this strange configuration to the CMB might be a signature of the quaternionic structure of the universe in the inflationary or pre-inflationary phase.

The circles of radiation appear in concentric circles made up of below average temperature in the cosmic microwave background CMB, which is the leftover glow of the Big Bang.
