Discover the first evidence of the Big Bang big bang

For the first time, astronomers have "captured" images of gravitational waves spreading in space, creating a solid foundation that underpins the theory of the universe formed from the Big Bang. 14 billion years ago.

The announcement announced March 17 at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics stated that after three years of observing the oldest lights in the universe, the BICEP2 telescope located at the South Pole found knives. dynamics in ultra-short waves exist in the form of dim light in the universe.

According to scientific circles, this oscillation occurs due to the impact of gravity waves spreading through space and time in the universe. These gravitational waves are identified as the first vibrations of the Big Bang.

This finding confirms the existence of gravitational waves, which is also the first evidence to reinforce the theory of the Big Bang or "hypothetical theory" , suggesting that the universe observes now. from a big explosion about 14 billion years ago.

After the Big Bang, the universe was in a very hot and dense state, and began to expand rapidly. Scientists believe that gravitational waves are the product of the Big Bang.

The universe researcher believes that the new discovery opens the way for some unsolved problems about the formation of the universe, the time and progress of the Big Bang.

Chris Lintott, astrophysicist at Oxford University, said finding evidence of "hypothetical theory" could be considered one of the most significant findings in nearly two decades. , and is a glory of physics.

John Kovac, project leader of BICEP2, said the new discovery has partly fulfilled one of the most important goals of modern cosmology.

This work is the result of a group of leading experts from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, University of Minnesota, Stanford University, California Institute of Technology and the US Aerospace Agency ( NASA). As planned, the group will officially publish new research this week.
