Hey everyone! In this post, I am going to be reporting on the Big Bang Theory. No, not the hit TV show, the scientific hypothesis. In this post I will talk about what it is and the reasons for skepticism behind it.

As you have probably heard, there was a study done from 2009 to 2013 in Antarctica by a group of scientists to find evidence of the Big Bang Theory. The Big Bang Theory is the current leading explanation about the beginning of the universe. The theory goes, that the known universe was started by a giant explosion and that the planets and cosmos are the debris that were (and still are) expelled outward. It is the simplest theory out there and I think that it is very plausible. The researchers were using the Background Imaging of Cosmic Extragalactic Polarization (or BICEP2 for short) telescope when they saw what looked like potential evidence that a gigantic cosmic explosion occurred in the known universe a very long time before we came around. What the scientists saw was what appeared to be primordial gravitational waves, moving continuously outward like radiation. It was the first strong evidence of primordial gravitational waves.

This is a picture of primordial gravitational waves that stimulate the Big Bang and it's cosmic radiation.

Some of the controversy of the newly found evidence argues that the ripples from the implied explosion could have simply been space-dust aligned by magnetic force of other stars, galaxies, ext. However, the scientists behind the expedition have done thorough research and concluded that it could be possible that that was true, but the signal they received was so strong they significantly doubted it. I think it could be either answer, but personally I think that it is very solid evidence of primordial gravitational waves. 

I believe that this rising issue about the Big Bang definitely deserves attention because I think if we knew for sure exactly how we got here, then it would be easier for us to progress faster and more effectively toward the future. Discovering the mysteries of the past is incredibly important and is something that I want to pursue in life. I really hope you liked my article and would love to hear your opinions and thoughts about this in the comments.
