The isotropy of the cosmic microwave background radiation (same temperature in all directions) indicates that: the universe had an early period of inflation in which regions initially in contact were carried out of contact with each other. regions that appear to us to be pn opposite sides of the visible universe are in fact in close contact with each other. the universe did not begin to expand significantly until after the era of recombination. the universe has always been dominated by matter.

A wave function can be expanded in basis states as $\vert \psi \rangle =\sum _{n}a_{n}\vert \psi _{n}\rangle $ What must be true of the expansion coefficients? $\sum _{n}\vert a_{n}\vert ^{2}=1$ They must be real numbers. There is no restrictions on the coefficients. $\sum _{n}a_{n}=1$
