Being covered by Matt Strassler-More coverage:-http://news.sciencemag.org/physics/2014/03/glimpse-universes-first-split-second-boosts-inflation-theory-Gravitational waves and conformation of inflation-"Researchers from the BICEP2 collaboration today announced the first direct evidence for this cosmic inflation. Their data also represent the first images of gravitational waves, or ripples in space-time. These waves have been described as the "first tremors of the Big Bang." Finally, the data confirm a deep connection between quantum mechanics and general relativity."-http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/03/140317125850.htm
