  • 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.

  • >> 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?
