Stanford University.
-
>> Today, I'm going to deliver a news to Professor
-
Andrei Linde, who is the founding father of inflation.
-
So inflation is the theory about the bang of the big bang,
-
it explains why we have all this stuff in the universe.
-
So today I'm going to tell him, our experiment, Bicep two based
-
at South Pole, has found the smoking gun evidence of inflation.
-
He has no idea that I'm coming.
-
[SOUND] >> Oh.
-
>> What?
-
>> So I have a surprise for you.
-
>> Wow.
-
>> It's Phi Sigma at point two.
-
>> Discovered.
-
>> Yes.
-
>> What.
-
>> [LAUGH] >> Just a second.
-
Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake.
-
>> Phi Sigma as clear as day are at point two.
-
>> Can you repeat it again?
-
>> R point two plus minus point alt five.
-
>> Point two.
-
>> We must [SOUND] stop there.
-
[LAUGH]
-
>> We don't expect anybody here.
-
It's probably some kind of delivery.
-
Did you order anything?
-
Yeah, I ordered something [LAUGH] 30 years ago.
-
[LAUGH] >> Finally it arrived.
-
>> Cheers, cheers.
-
>> Congratulations.
-
>> [INAUDIBLE].
-
>> We are talking right now about the billionth of the billionth
-
of the millionth of a million of a second, after the big bang.
-
So we see the face of the big bang, it is an image of these gravitational waves
-
which is purely quantum gravity feature of, of what was produced in the big bang.
-
So this, is the remaining part of the story.
-
>> It's all there.
-
>> It's all there.
-
>> They all three different experiments.
-
>> Yes.
-
>> If this is true, this is a moment of understanding of nature.
-
Of such a magnitude, that it just overwhelms.
-
and, let's see.
-
Let's, let's just hope that this is not a trick.
-
I always live with this feeling.
-
What if I'm tricked?
-
What if I, I believe into this, just because it is beautiful?
-
What if
-
yes.
-
So this is really helpful.
-
[LAUGH] To have events like that.
-
It is really, really helpful.
-
Thank you so much, for doing it for us.
-
>> Yeah, yeah, yeah.
