A Japanese research team measured the temperature of the universe 7 billion years ago using data from ALMA, finding it to be about 5.13 K, roughly double today's temperature, which confirms predictions of the Big Bang theory with high precision and supports our understanding of cosmic evolution.
The article discusses the uncertainties surrounding the maximum temperature of the early universe during the Big Bang, highlighting how cosmic inflation and observational data from the cosmic microwave background help constrain this temperature, which is estimated to be between 10^24 and 10^28 Kelvin, well below the Planck scale.
The article explores whether life could have begun when the universe was at room temperature (~300K), concluding that it was unlikely because the formation of stars and heavy elements necessary for life occurred much later, after the universe cooled below that temperature.
