Fascinating considering my mind is about as fragmented as it gets yet I never give into temptation. I've always been very disciplined and very stubborn.

Wow that's incredible! If I understand correctly that means the light being emitted from an object is one long stream and we can access different segments of it by tuning into different frequencies?

The CMB that we see consists of the light that is just now reaching us. As time goes on, light from more and more distant regions is able to reach us. In this way, the CMB depicts a spherical slice of the 370000-year-old universe (the "last scattering surface") at an ever increasing distance as time goes on.
I just had a stupid thought, since different wavelengths take different amounts of time to reach us does that mean the speed of light varies based on its frequency?

One time there was supposed to be a rocket launch I could see from my house which hasn't happened in decades and they cancelled it due to weather and moved it somewhere else.

Well typically I refer to the labels given by the dictionary. No sense in using anything else. The real question is what you're using?
