How does the theory of inflation explain the near-uniformity of the cosmic microwave background?
 
  A) Prior to rapid inflation, all regions of space were close enough to bounce radiation back-and-forth and reach the same temperature.
  B) Matter expanded into regions of space that had no matter, and thus ended up at the same temperature.
  C) The expanding universe would have cooled.
  D) Matter was near the critical-density for a universal collapse, which smoothed out the differences in temperatures.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
