      USA: Scientists celebrate 'first tremors of Big Bang' discovery

      Assistant professor Chao-Lin Kuo arrived at the house of professor Andrei Linde in a surprise visit to announce the discovery of evidence believed to support the cosmic inflation theory, in Stanford on Monday.

      The finding, seen through telescopes by the BICEP2 experiment team, is thought to show images of gravitational waves - also known as ripples in space time. These have been described as the "first tremors of the Big Bang."

      Cosmic inflation theory posits that the universe expanded by 100 trillion trillion times just after the Big Bang. Researches believe the images of gravitational waves show this expansion.
