Cosmic Microwave Map Swirls Indicate Inflation
Scientists have long theorized that the universe underwent a rapid expansion, called inflation, shortly after the Big Bang. This theory helps explain why the universe appears similar in opposite directions. Recent results from the BICEP2 experiment detected specific patterns of polarization in the cosmic microwave background radiation, bolstering the inflation theory.
