The static you see on the screen when you turn your television to the “in between” channel is the afterglow of the big bang. The same is true for FM radio stations where the frequency between stations gives you a hiss, called “white noise.” Part of this is leftover radiation from the Big Bang some 13.7 billion years ago.
Today's version really, REALLY sucks- it doesn't have much of anything.
