Although many scientists already believed that an initial, extremely rapid growth spurt happened, they have long sought the type of evidence cited in the new study.</p><p style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; margin: 0px; line-height: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">The results reported Monday emerged after researchers peered into the faint light that remains from the Big Bang of nearly 14 billion years ago.</p><p style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; margin: 0px; line-height: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">The discovery "gives us a window on the universe at the very beginning," when it was far less than one-trillionth of a second old, said theoretical physicist Lawrence Krauss of Arizona State University, who was not involved in the work.</p><p style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; margin: 0px; line-height: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">"It's just amazing," Krauss said.

It's a grand slam."</p><p style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; margin: 0px; line-height: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">He and other experts said the results must be confirmed by other observations, a standard caveat in science.</p><p style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; margin: 0px; line-height: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Right after the Big Bang, the universe was a hot soup of particles. It took about 380,000 years to cool enough that the particles could form atoms, then stars and galaxies. Billions of years later, planets formed from gas and dust that were orbiting stars. The universe has continued to spread out.</p><p style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; margin: 0px; line-height: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Krauss said he thinks the new results could rank among the greatest breakthroughs in astrophysics over the last 25 years, such as the Nobel prize-winning discovery that the universe's expansion is accelerating.</p><p style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; margin: 0px; line-height: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Monday's findings were announced by a collaboration that included researchers from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, the University of Minnesota, Stanford University, the California Institute of Technology and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The team plans to submit its conclusions to a scientific journal this week, said its leader, John Kovac of Harvard.</p><p style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; margin: 0px; line-height: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Astronomers scanned about 2 percent of the sky for three years with a telescope at the South Pole, where the air is exceptionally dry.</p><p style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; margin: 0px; line-height: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">They were looking for a specific pattern in light waves within the faint microwave glow left over from the Big Bang. The pattern has long been considered evidence of rapid growth, known as inflation. Kovac called it "the smoking-gun signature of inflation."</p><p style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; margin: 0px; line-height: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">The reported detection suggests that "inflation has sent us a telegram," Kamionkowski said.</p><p style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; margin: 0px; line-height: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">The researchers say the light-wave pattern was caused by gravitational waves, which are ripples in space and time. If verified, the new work would be the first detection of such waves from the birth of the universe, which have been called the first tremors of the Big Bang.</p><p style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; margin: 0px; line-height: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Krauss cautioned that the light-wave pattern might not be a sign of inflation, although he stressed that it's "extremely likely" that it is. The pattern is "our best hope" for a direct test of whether the rapid growth spurt happened, he said.</p><p style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; margin: 0px; line-height: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Alan Guth of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a creator of the idea of inflation, said the findings already suggest that some ideas about the rapid expansion of the universe can be ruled out.</p><p style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; margin: 0px; line-height: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">It had not been clear whether the light-wave pattern would be detectable even if inflation really happened, he said, but luckily "nature is cooperating with us, laying out its cards in a way that we can see them."</p><p style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;

In the 1980s, Big Bang theory got a major upgrade with the addition of  Back then paradoxes and puzzles kept popping up which threatened to topple the Big Bang. Scientists like Alan Guth realized that, in order to make the idea work, there must have been a brief moment very early in cosmic history when a little sliver of post-Big Bang space-time began expanding much faster than its surroundings. Like an inflating balloon blown up by a high-powered compressor, this tiny "pocket" of space-time stretched very, very quickly to become our entire observable universe.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 80px 1.3em auto; padding: 0px 15px; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1.6rem; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: 1.5; vertical-align: baseline; float: none; position: static; min-height: 1px; width: 690px; color: rgb(17, 17, 17); max-width: 690px;">But almost as rapidly as it began, this period of inflation ended and left us with what we have now: the leisurely expansion we see today. In spite of its brevity, this brief period of Inflation was all-important. It was inflation that set us on the trajectory for everything that has happened afterward: galaxies, stars, planets and us.<div idx="res290870432" previewtitle="The bottom part of this illustration shows the scale of the universe versus time.

No one had a firm handle on what the universe was like at such a ridiculously early point in time. The densities and temperatures of cosmic matter were so high that its physics could only be drawn in outlines. While inflation cured many problems for cosmologists, it seemed to lots of researchers like wishful thinking written in advanced math.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 80px 1.3em auto; padding: 0px 15px; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1.6rem; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: 1.5; vertical-align: baseline; float: none; position: static; min-height: 1px; width: 690px; color: rgb(17, 17, 17); max-width: 690px;">Where was the proof?</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 80px 1.3em auto; padding: 0px 15px; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1.6rem; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: 1.5; vertical-align: baseline; float: none; position: static; min-height: 1px; width: 690px; color: rgb(17, 17, 17); max-width: 690px;">Over the last few decades a slim kind of proof for inflation arrived via tiny bumps and lumps in the ancient cosmic gas that can be directly observed through what's called the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation. The CMB is made of fossil photons left over from the period just 300,000 years after the Big Bang. Lumps and bumps in the density of gas can be traced all the way back to quantum mechanical burps that occurred during inflation. But there are many versions of inflation theory and the proof that came from the density wiggles did not tell us which version was correct or provide many details about the early, early universe. In other words the density wiggles were a blunt instrument.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 80px 1.3em auto; padding: 0px 15px; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1.6rem; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: 1.5; vertical-align: baseline; float: none; position: static; min-height: 1px; width: 690px; color: rgb(17, 17, 17); max-width: 690px;">Space-time wiggles, though, are another story entirely.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 80px 1.3em auto; padding: 0px 15px; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1.6rem; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: 1.5; vertical-align: baseline; float: none; position: static; min-height: 1px; width: 690px; color: rgb(17, 17, 17); max-width: 690px;">The violence of the early universe was so extreme that it would leave space-time itself ringing like a bell. Almost as soon as inflation was proposed some scientists predicted that it would leave a "gravity wave" signature.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 80px 1.3em auto; padding: 0px 15px; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1.6rem; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: 1.5; vertical-align: baseline; float: none; position: static; min-height: 1px; width: 690px; color: rgb(17, 17, 17); max-width: 690px;">Ripples in the fabric of space-time are an essential prediction of Einstein's theory of relativity. While we have never captured a gravity wave directly, we already have indirect proof of their existence by watching how pairs of orbiting pulsars (dead hyper-dense stars) spiral around each other.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 80px 1.3em auto; padding: 0px 15px; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1.6rem; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: 1.5; vertical-align: baseline; float: none; position: static; min-height: 1px; width: 690px; color: rgb(17, 17, 17); max-width: 690px;">Thus more than two decades ago physicists were predicting the existence of a gravity wave signature for the inflationary epoch. Even more important, by looking at which gravity waves got the most energy scientists could cut through different versions of inflation theory. They could even tell if inflation itself was entirely wrong since there are alternative models for the early universe that don't involve inflation and make different predictions for the gravity wave spectrum.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 80px 1.3em auto; padding: 0px 15px; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1.6rem; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: 1.5; vertical-align: baseline; float: none; position: static; min-height: 1px; width: 690px; color: rgb(17, 17, 17); max-width: 690px;">So gravity waves are the key. If we could see them (directly or indirectly, as <a href="http://bicep.caltech.edu/public/" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(71, 116, 204); -webkit-user-select: none;">BICEP</a> has done) they would represent a way to distinguish between different models for the early universe. And comparing data with models — that is what science is all about, after all.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 80px 1.3em auto; padding: 0px 15px; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1.6rem; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: 1.5; vertical-align: baseline; float: none; position: static; min-height: 1px; width: 690px; color: rgb(17, 17, 17); max-width: 690px;">Even on its own, finding new evidence for Einstein's much-sought-after gravity waves is a major achievement. But finding evidence for them from the early universe means we have a new tool for exploring the most extreme, mind-blowing event that ever occurred: the birth of everything. Today it seems that evidence may have been found.</p></div></div><br /="/"/></div><br /="/"/><br /="/"/> <br /="/"/><br /="/"/> <p><div align="right"><font color="#ff0000" style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #c4dfff">  本贴由[<b>大清太平</b>]最后编辑于:2014-3-17 22:1:22  </font></div><div style="MARGIN-TOP:20px;MARGIN-LEFT:5px;MARGIN-BOTTOM:10px"><br /="/"/><img /="/" src="/img/sign.gif"></img><a href="http://www.ddhw.org" target="_top"><span style="FONT-SIZE:12px;COLOR:#999999;font-weight:bold">www.ddhw.org</span></a>---<div style="width:450px;MARGIN-LEFT:10px"><div></div><br /="/"/><input /="/" src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/159/346109651_87e775379d_o.jpg" style="CURSOR: default" type="image" width="150"/><br /="/"/><br /="/"/></div></div></p>
