Cosmic inflation - extraordinary new evidence to support a Big Bang Theory

Scientists say they have extraordinary new evidence to support a Big Bang Theory for the origin of the Universe.
Researchers believe they have found the signal left in the sky by the super-rapid expansion of space that must have occurred just fractions of a second after everything came into being.

The aim has been to try to find a residual marker for "inflation" - the idea that the cosmos experienced an exponential growth spurt in its first trillionth, of a trillionth of a trillionth of a second.
The BICEP2 team says it has now identified that signal. Scientists call it B-mode polarisation. It is a characteristic twist in the directional properties of the CMB. Only the gravitational waves moving through the Universe in its inflationary phase could have produced such a marker. It is a true "smoking gun".

The Big Bang Theory is loaded with conjecture. It is the best theory currently available but I, personally, don't put a great deal of stock in it. I also don't believe the Earth is 5,000 years old if you were wondering

I ask, who gives a frick how it started.
The past is the past, and the future is now.
Life's a garden, dig it.
