A technique to sift out the universe’s first gravitational waves – MIT News
A new MIT technique may sift out universe’s very first gravitational waves. Identifying primordial ripples would be key to understanding conditions of the early…
In the moments immediately following the Big Bang, the very first gravitational waves rang out. The product of quantum fluctuations in the new soup of primordial matter, these earliest ripples through the fabric of space-time were quickly amplified by inflationary processes that drove the universe to explosively expand.
Primordial gravitational waves, produced nearly 13.8 billion years ago, still echo through the universe today. But they are drowned out by the crackle of gravitational waves produced…
