"There's still a lot out there, and that's the problem." From the report:... Read more ›

The idea is especially notable because it makes testable predictions, including a minimum level of primordial gravitational waves that future experiments may be able to detect. "Even though this model deals with incredibly high energies, it leads to clear predictions that... Read more ›
