#CosmicInflation

The US just cancelled a $900M search for cosmic inflation signals. Apparently we're only interested in the kind of inflation that makes everything more expensive, not the kind that created the universe. CMB-S4 project gets the axe. 🔭💸

🚀🔭 Oh no! The U.S. gives up finding the universe's secrets—because, obviously, cosmic inflation is hiding behind and cookies. 🍪🙄 Perhaps the real inflation is in webpage requirements.

The Higgs boson is a fundamental particle that gives mass to other particles. It was discovered in 2012 at the Large Hadron Collider, but its properties are still being explored. A new study suggests that the Higgs boson could also explain cosmic inflation, a rapid Universe expansion that occurred shortly after the Big Bang. This could lead to a unified theory of physics that connects the microscopic and cosmic scales.

Any "evidence" for #cosmicinflation? - #Signals appearing on the so-called #superhorizonscales, as seen in the #TEcrosscorrelationspectrum of the #CMB, should be consistent with an inflationary period prior to the start of the #hotBigBang.
