Controversy about experiments reveals the formation of the universe

In the scientific world, there has been a heated debate about the reliability of a breakthrough experiment, to discover what happened in the first billionth of a billion of a second after the Big Bang. .

Researchers at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Massachusetts have built ultra-sensitive radiation sensors and installed them in the BICEP2 radio telescope in Antarctica, to look at waveforms. Certain light within the faint microwave emission remains from the Big Bang. Nine years later, they discovered swirling patterns in cosmic background radiation, believed to originate from gravitational waves at the beginning of the universe.

However, through his thorough analysis, researcher John Kovac and Harvard University colleagues (USA) stated that the resulting signal could originate from another source.

The experiment was praised to help reveal the extremely brief moment of the beginning of everything, when the universe expanded very quickly, as a hypothesis called "the hype of the universe".

According to many scientists, finding this evidence has become a major goal in space research. The discovery will bring us a window to see the universe when it was first formed, less than 1 in 1 billion of a second. The work is still being reevaluated by other scientists, but there are also opinions about the Nobel prize.

However, some scientists are currently skeptical about the results of the experiment. There have been rumors on the websites from the beginning of last week that the authors of the experiment admitted to having made a mistake. According to rumors, the researchers mistook a key detail in galactic dust analysis, making it more likely that the signal originates from a source, instead of gravitational waves.

In a controversial article, physicist Adam Falkowski from Orsay Theoretical Physics Laboratory (France) said that, before the discovery of the discovery, the signal had to be validated by other experiments. Kovac's group protested that they were very cautious in their public research report, as well as anticipating unclear points.

The verification of Kovac and his colleagues will not be possible until another research group voices their support or refutes the discovery. This is expected to happen later this year.
