BICEP2 results confirm inflation of the Big Bang (check out the reaction!)

link to New Scientist article

Exciting times! A further piece of the puzzle has been revealed: scientists decode an aspect of the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation that allows them to view gravitational waves for the first time. It gives us another way to analyse the Big Bang. For some, it lends support towards the idea of a multiverse (as if this universe wasn't fascinating enough already!!!)

Watch this, though (this is the best part): Andrei Linde who, 30 years ago, was one of the founders of the idea of inflation hears the news of his theory being confirmed. The only person with more at stake over this research would have been Einstein himself.

Nice big bang stuff but still a small fart in the vastness of unseen space, i hope neutrino telescopes can help us see more. soon.
