Primordial gravitational wave discovery heralds 'whole new era' in physics

Gravitational waves could help unite general relativity and quantum mechanics to reveal a 'theory of everything.'

Telescope captures view of gravitational waves

Out of Antarctica, a 'grand slam' that leads back to the big bang

Physicists using data from an Antarctica telescope say they've observed evidence of primordial gravity waves—in other words, echoes of the big bang.

Bicep2 will allow us to work out how hot the big bang was

The latest big thing in science will also permit analysis of how much dark energy drove the inflation of the universe.
