Right now the radiation is Microwaves and in many years it will be radio waves. So 1) does this mean if i but on microwave glasses i could see the radiation (i know it is faint) and if i could what would it look like? And Number 2. Would there have been a time when the radiation was say Yellow wisable light? If there was how would we have "seen" it?

If we were around and our eyes could work would we have seen it?

I haven't heard of the Static way of detecting, so with that in mind in a couple million/billion years radios wont work because of all the radiation polluting the air?

Yes. If you could look at the sky with a microwave telescope, you would see it. That's how we first found it, actually. But there's another way - you know when you tune in your television to a station you don't get and it's all static-y? That's the microwave background radiation you're looking at. Not a great form of it, but still, that's what causes a lot of the static.
Yep. The light would have been in the visible part of the spectrum a long time ago - it would have been a bright universe for a while.

1) Yes, if you had a way to see microwaves and looked up in a dark sky, you would be able to see the background radiation. All that the radio recievers do is act like big microwave eyes.
2) Yes, there was a time when it was 'yellow' light, but at that point all matter was ionized because of the heat. Electrons and nuclei didn't form atoms, so there would not have been eyes or radio telescopes or anything like that to see with. The temperature at that point would have been roughly that of the surface of the sun now.

Radiation is the result of Nuclear mass interactions which occurs in star just likg our Sun. Without the process of nuclear fusion no radiation woud take place. Whatever radiations is produced froms stars is the Result of Nuclear fusion.
Galactic and cosmics winds flow thru out the Universe in the same way that the earth is receiving solar wind.
Cosmic radiation comes in many forms as gamma radiation ,Xray radiation ,microwave radiation ,a radio wave radiation.
The Universe has a high temperature energy and we are able to mesure its average. The temperature energy of space is related to entropy.
Some how it is dificult to conceive a Big Bang theory out of radiation.
Note our eyse are only able so see radiation in the order of 10^14 Hertz Spectrum frequencies.

We would not have seen it because (1) there were not yet humans and (2) temperatures were too high for eyes to work.

no we wouldnt see, 1 all ur atoms were once in the big bang and 2, when it happened if u were theyre u would be split appart into quarks be the power of the explosion
