Cosmic inflation is sound whether or not we have found primordial gravitational waves, says the theory's co-founder Andrei Linde

Another experiment there, the South Pole Telescope, reported finding B - mode polarization last year, although the signal it saw was at a different angular scale across the sky and was clearly due to the known process of gravitational lensing (a warping of light caused by massive objects) of the CMB by large galaxies, rather than the primordial gravitational waves seen here.

That's because using a mathematical tool called dimensional analysis, they found a positive link between the primordial gravitational waves and Planck's constant, which is used in quantum mechanics.

Despite earlier reports of a possible detection, a joint analysis of data from ESA's Planck satellite and the ground - based BICEP2 and Keck Array experiments has found no conclusive evidence of primordial gravitational waves.
