## Transcript

Today I'm going to deliver news to Professor Andrei Linde. Who is the founding father of inflation. So inflation is a theory about the bang of big bang. It explains why we have all of this stuff, in the universe. So today I'm going to tell him our experiment, bicep two. Based as South Pole, has found the smoking gun evidence of inflation. He has no idea that I'm coming. I have a surprise for you. Wow. It's five sigma. At point two. [ UNKNOWN ] Yes. What? Just a second, take, take, take, can you repeat it? Five sigma. As clear as day. Power of point two. Can you repeat it again? R 0. 2 plus minus 0.

05. 0. 2? [ SOUND ] [ INAUDIBLE ] We didn't expect anybody. And it's probably some kind of delivery. Did you order anything? Yeah, I ordered [ LAUGH ] Five sigma. Finally, they arrived. Cheers, cheers. Congratulations. Congratulations. Oh my goodness [ CROSSTALK ] We are talking right now about billions of billions of billions of millions of a second after the big bang. So we see the face of the big bang. It is an image over these gravitational waves. Which is purely quantum gravity, feature of what was produced in the Big Bang. From the Big Bang. So this is the remaining part of the story. They're all there.

They're all there. All there. Three different experiments. Even 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, let's us hope that it is not a trick. I always live where there is feeling. What if I'm tricked? What, what if I, I, I believe into this? Just because it is beautiful what if yes so this is really helpful [ LAUGH ] to have advance like. It's really, really helpful. [ LAUGH ] Thank you so much for this. Yeah, of course, yeah.
