ESA Euronews: Echoes from the Big Bang

  • 9 years ago
Scientists are getting closer than ever to understanding the origins of the Universe. For the first time, they have glimpsed behind the veil that covers the 'Big Bang' with the announcement that the Background Imaging of Cosmic Extragalactic Polarisation -- BICEP2 -- experiment at the South Pole had spotted the footprints of something called primordial gravitational waves. These waves may be a sign that a theory known as cosmic inflation can be confirmed. For those studying the Big Bang -- the beginning of the Universe -- this is big news.
