“It is undeniable that we are profoundly puzzled, especially when it comes to the first fraction of a second that followed the Big Bang,” wrote theoretical physicist Dan Hooper, author of The Edge of Time in an email to The Daily Galaxy–Great Discoveries Channel. “I have no doubt that these earliest moments hold incredible secrets, but our universe holds its secrets closely. It is up to us to coax those secrets from its grip, transforming them from mystery into discovery.” The Big Bang Singularity On Sept 14, 2015 after traveling for more than a hundred million years, the aftershocks from a massive collision in a galaxy far, far away finally reached Earth allowing scientists to detect a long-predicted twist in light from the the state of infinite density called the Big Bang singularity that represent the beginning of time predicted in Einstein’s general theory of relativity and the first image of ripples in the universe called gravitational waves –ripples in the fabric of spacetime, that distort the very geometry of space itself.
