On March 17, astrophysicists announced they had discovered evidence of gravity waves left over from the time of the supposed big bang, which was believed in the scientific community to be confirmation of the big bang theory's cosmic inflation.
On Monday, astronomer John M. Kovac and his team announced they had detected ripples, or gravitational waves, in the fabric of space-time, an accomplishment that further supports the idea of a universe being stretched apart when it was only about a trillionth of a trillionth of a trillionth of a second old - 10 to the minus 35 seconds.
