Scientists find cosmic ripples from birth of universe
"Astronomers have discovered the first direct evidence of the astonishing expansion of the universe following the Big Bang -- the birth of the universe some 13.8 billion years ago.
Scientists believe that, in the beginning, the universe exploded from a tiny speck and hurled itself out in all directions in the fractions of a second that followed. Matter ultimately coalesced hundreds of millions of years later into planets, stars, and ultimately us.
And like ripples from a ball kicked into a pond, that Big Bang caused ripples in the ancient light from that event, light which remains imprinted in the skies in a leftover glow called the cosmic microwave background.
Scientists still don’t know who kicked the ball."
Some might say it was
"LET THERE BE LIGHT"
other might say "It was a quantum fluctuation in the space time continuum"
Doen't matter to the discovery of the evidence. That is a great scientific accomplishment! We Done Gentlemen and Ladies.
