Researchers with the BICEP2 project reported swirling patterns in the alignment of electromagnetic waves in the cosmic microwave background, or CMB, the primordial light released into the universe about 380,000 years after the Big Bang -LRB-

The cosmic microwave background was emitted about 375,000 years later.

Embedded in this cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation are hints aplenty about the universe in its infancy.

The team of cosmologists from Harvard University, the University of Minnesota, the California Institute of Technology / Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and Stanford University / SLAC used BICEP2 to observe telltale patterns in the cosmic microwave background — the afterglow of the Big Bang almost 14 billion years ago — that support the leading theory about the origins of the universe.

PRIMORDIAL SWIRL The patterns and colors in this visualization represent the polarization and temperature of the cosmic microwave background in a small patch of space, emitted when the universe was about 380,000 years old.

Called the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation, this afterglow was produced about 370,000 years after the big bang when the first atoms formed and has been studied in great detail by satellites, such as NASA's WMAP probe.

Studies of the big bang afterglow, also known as the cosmic microwave background (CMB), have already revealed plenty about how the universe came to be.

Compared to this chilly character, the rest of the universe is a relatively balmy 2.7 kelvin (about -270 ˚C), thanks to the cosmic microwave background (CMB), the heat left over from the explosion of the big bang.

But it turns out we can actually indirectly measure gravity waves by looking out at the cosmic microwave background that's come to us from the big bang and imprinted in there, it turns out for reasons I think I won't talk about here, [is] a signal maybe of the big bang and I've just, in fact, written a bit about how you might be able to entangle that signal.

A Russian astrophysicist who pioneered the study of fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background to learn more about the universe and an American chemist whose work led to the development of several new materials have won the Kyoto Prize from the Japanese Inamori Foundation.

According to standard physics, cosmic rays created outside our galaxy with energies greater than about 1020 electronvolts (eV) should not reach Earth at those energies: as they travel over such vast regions of space they should lose energy because of collisions with photons of the cosmic microwave background (CMB), the radiation left over from the big bang.

Widely accepted studies of the cosmic microwave background — the afterglow of the Big Bang — indicate that for every pound of normal matter in the universe, there are about six pounds of dark matter, unseen particles that are known only from their gravitational pull.

That's the conclusion of a four - year mission conducted by the European Space Agency's Planck spacecraft, which has created the highest - resolution map yet of the entire cosmic microwave background (CMB)-- the first light to travel across a newly transparent universe about 380,000 years after the big bang.

What about measuring variations in nutrients, oxygen isotopes... hey, mass spec each ring — maybe we can determine if the plant has been engulfed in volcanic smoke, forest fire smoke, been bombarded variably by cosmic rays, ultraviolet, cosmic microwave background... lets get this 19th Century botanists pursuit up to speed!
