Question
sir,
what is CMBR?

Answer
Hello,

"CMBR" refers to the *cosmic microwave background radiation*. That is the 2.7 K temperature "relic radiation" left over from the big bang.

Neeraj!? WHAT in blazes are you doing giving me such low knowledge ratings??? And politeness of '7'? (Which actually also provoked this aggressive response)  This is absurd and also why many experts choose not to be rated - because people like you abuse it!

I had an instinct to turf your question and I ought to have followed it.

Look, you got the full complement of knowledge delivered proportionate to what you asked. If you wanted more or put differently you ought to have re-phrased the question. Such as:

"Please explain in detail what is meant by the CMBR".

This you did not do, yet you take it out on my ratings. I get paid not one red cent for answering these questions, but the least I DO expect is a fair assessment. You sir, did not even provide that.

This is the LAST time I address ANY questions from you, sir.  And I am going to request All Experts to withdraw your ratings as inappropriate and inapplicable.
