paleophotons 

english word - noun
etymology: paleo- + photon (words derived from Ancient Greek: paleos + phos + -ios)
definition: The cosmic microwave background or CMB, the oldest photons able to travel freely in the Universe after "recombination".
# Paleophotons are omnidirectional relics of the "recombination era".
# Via triangulation of the patterns of paleophotons, we now know the Universe is probabilistically infinite. It means it is infinite, but if one travels beyond some virtual sphere, the probability of him /her returning to the initial region of his journey, approaches zero, because far away objects become probabilistic, thus an infinite variation could now exist, and after some distance it is certain that his/her home, is no longer an actual option for her.
