Space Ripples Reveal Big Bang’s Smoking Gun

3/26/2014

This article discusses the discovery of gravitational waves, which provides strong evidence supporting the Big Bang theory. Scientists at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics announced that they have detected ripples in the fabric of spacetime, known as gravitational waves, which were predicted by Albert Einstein over a century ago in his theory of general relativity. The detection of these waves provides confirmation of the inflationary theory of the universe's early expansion after the Big Bang. The article explains the significance of this discovery and its implications for our understanding of the origins of the universe.
