• Resumen

  • The article discusses the discovery of gravitational waves from the early universe by a team of astrophysicists working with the Background Imaging of Cosmic Extragalactic Polarization 2 (BICEP2) telescope at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station. Topics include probing inflation by the observation of gravitational waves, the implications for science if the BICEP2 cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization signal is confirmed, and the multiverse theory.
