Gravitational waves: have US scientists heard echoes of the Big Bang?				1
				2
Discovery of gravitational waves by the Bicep telescope at the South Pole could				3
give scientists insights into how the universe was born.				4
				5
There is intense speculation among cosmologists that a US team is on the verge of				6
confirming they have detected “primordial gravitational waves” – an echo of the Big				7
Bang in which the universe have come into existence 14 billion years ago.				8
				9
Rumours has been rife in the physics community about an announcement due on				10
Monday from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. If there is				11
evidense for gravitational waves, it would be a landmark discovery that would				12
				13
change the face of cosmology and particle physics.
				14
Gravitational waves are the last untested prediction of Albert Einstein’s General				15
Theory of Relativity. They are minuscule ripples in the fabric off the universe that				16
carry energy across space, somewhat similar to waves crossing an ocean.				17
Convincing evidence of their discovery would almost certainly lead to a Nobel				18
prize. The discovery of gravitational waves from the Big Bang would offer scientists				19
their first glimpse of how the universe was born. The signal is rumoured to have				20
been found by a specialised telescope called Bicep (Background Imaging of				21
Cosmic Extragalactic Polarization) at the South Pole. It scans the sky at microwave				22
frequencies, where it picks up the fossil energy from the Big Bang.				23
				24
“If a detection has been made, it is extraordinarily exciting. This is the real big tick-				25
box that we have been waiting for. It will tell us something incredibly fundamental				26
about what was happening when the universe was 10-34 (a decimal point followed				27
by 33 zeros and a one) seconds old,” said Prof Andrew Jaffe, a cosmologist from				28
Imperial College in  London, who works on another telescope involved in the				29
search called Polarbear. But extracting that signal is fearsomely tricky. The				30
microwaves that carry it must cross the whole universe before arriving at Earth.				31
During the journey, they are distorted by		__	clusters of galaxies.	32
				33
Duncan Hanson of McGill University in Montreal, Canada, said the distortion must				34
be removed in a convincing way before anyone can claim to have made the				35
detection. The prize for doing that, however, would be the pinnacle of a scientific				36
career. “The Nobel Prize would be for the detection of the primordial gravitational				37
waves.”				38
