Cosmic Inflation Explained.

It’s official: The Big Bang totally happened.

After presenting two papers not yet submitted for peer review, astrophysicists at Harvard will announce at noon today the first ever evidence of cosmic inflation and the Big Bang. If the astronomer’s findings hold up under scrutiny, their discovery will prove the existence of gravitational waves and likely forever change our understanding of the Universe.

Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb explained to Space.com: ”If it is confirmed, then it would be the most important discovery since the discovery, I think, that the expansion of the universe is accelerating.” Best St. Patty’s day ever.

Astrophysicists to Announce “Major Discovery” Today at 12PM EDT [Updated with Link to Livestream]
