On this Monday (03/17) Scientists at the Center for Astrophysics (CfA),
the Harvard Smithsonian Institute obtained the “first direct evidence of cosmic inflation”, ie the “noise ” of the explosion that gave birth to the universe 14 billion years ago .
These remarks were made in a telescope at the South Pole and means that the existence of these ripples of space-time , an echo of the Big Bang , which happened in the first split second of the existence of the entire universe whose expansion is called ” cosmic inflation ” , but which until now had not been observed .
The existence of these ripples of space-time , first echo of the Big Bang , which demonstrates experimentally that this was extremely rapid expansion of the universe in the first fraction of a second of its existence , a phase known as cosmic inflation .
According to John Kovac , professor of astronomy and physics at the CfA , ” The detection of these waves is one of the most important goals of cosmology today and the result of an enormous amount of work done by a lot of scientists.”
