I believe intensity varies with distance from the source and by the time light or heat waves from stars have stretched into microwaves they have traveled very far.

1a) How does "
intensity var[y] with distance from the source"?
1b) How does "
intensity var[y] [...] by the time light or heat waves from stars have stretched"?
1c) How far do "
light or heat waves from stars" travel for them to be "
stretched into microwaves" (in an infinite, static, universe)?
1d) If, as you say, the universe is static and infinite, why is the intensity of the microwave background not infinite?

2) How does your ATM idea account for the actual, observed intensity of the microwave background?
See question 1. Also, I have not worked on this, but am learning how important it is. Why is it isotrophic and at this particular wavelength of 1.9MM - 2.725 degrees? Is it possible the motions of the earth as receptor has something to do with the shape and length of the waves observed especially when they are very long. Much to contemplate.

2a) When do you expect to have finished working this out?

3) Why is the 'interim step in this process [...] the microwave background'?
The word interim confuses the issue here as microwaves are near the extreme length where the various infrared wouuld be more interim in nature.

Here is your earlier statement:

Over long transmission periods the waves of the light radiation will stretch back out and become paeps. An interim step in this process is the microwave background. Microwaves have longer wavelengths than light and are partially stretched out light waves. They are the first stage in the reason that the night sky is not solid starlight as asked by Olber in his paraox.

3a) Please re-state this, clarifying the word 'interim' so that it no longer "
confuses the issue here".
3b) Why, in a static, infinite universe, aren't radio waves "
near the extreme length where the various infrared wouuld be more interim in nature"?
