> Moreover, this is really big journey for a photon, with very high probability to hit something on the way to us Wrong. The universe is remarkably empty, and photons can easily travel across the entire visible universe without hitting anything. > Emission from multiple random objects can be approximated as black body radiation Wrong. There are very specific conditions for blackbody radiation. Other conditions give rise to different types of spectra, such as synchrotron radiation, Bremsstrahlung, etc. You're making a lot of claims about how physics works that are simply false. Before making up your own alternate theories of physics, you should learn physics as it is presently understood. |

The universe is remarkably empty, but any small probability can be multiplied by a really big number, to get ~1.
For a simplified example, the lowest density of interstellar space is 100 molecules per m3. The number of water molecules in water is 3.3E28. If a photon travel 3.5E10 light years (35Bly), then it's roughly equivalent to passing a 1m3 of water (by density, regardless of optical properties of the medium). 4Tly is a rough equivalent of 113 meters of water for such space. Most of this mass will be hydrogen molecules, of course.

Dark sky is the perfect absorber. Bremsstrahlung spectrum will approach black body spectrum anyway as density increases.
Gray body is not real, as I see.
