One of the experimental evidence that supports the theory of big bang is cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR).

  From what I've read is that CMBR is the left over radiation from an early stage of the universe.

My question is whyquestions are we able to detect this radiation at all?:

As the nothing travels faster light, should this radiation should have passed over earth long time ago? Why is this radiation is filling the universe uniformly?

  1. Why are we able to detect this radiation at all?

  2. As the nothing travels faster light, shouldn't this radiation have passed over earth long time ago?

  3. Why is this radiation filling the universe uniformly?
