Hello!  This is Cynthia Sue Larson
with RealityShifters dot com and
I'm the author of the best-selling book, "Quantum Jumps," which is the extraordinary science of
happiness and prosperity.
Today I'm planning to talk to you about
something pretty exciting,
and you may have heard about it on the news. It has to do
with the discovery that was made by the
BICEP2
telescope, which is located in Antarctica
where it can
easily--or more easily--be able to take a
look back to the beginning of the Big
Bang in the universe
or that was the goal--to look as far back to see
what were the original imprints
from the Big Bang in terms of the
polarization of
what's known as gravity waves.
So I'm going to back up a little bit and tell
you what that
BICEP2 telescope is all about. BICEP
stands for Background Imaging of Cosmic
Extragalactic
Polarization. 
And the polarization in question
has to do with the way that light is
affected or influenced by
gravity. This is a very tiny
diagram here, but you can see
if you wear polarized filters
on your sunglasses, then you benefit from
blocking light from coming in at certain
angles
so it just comes in along the lines that your
glasses are polarized in.
And along a similar kind of reasoning,
physicists were taking a look to see if
they could track and see
polarization patterns caused by
gravitation waves.
And the gravitation waves they're
looking for--that's this other picture
here--
if you look at this time of inflation
which was
theorized and speculated about, 
which would be following the Big Bang
And that inflationary period is a time when
everything came from something so small
in such a big flash in a big explosion
of energy
by as yet unknown means which are open
to theorists'
conjecture at this point, and hypotheses. 
But that huge explosion
and inflationary period contributed to this
idea of a time when everything was really expanding that fast, so there should
be some kind of a
steadiness and constancy, perhaps, to it.
That was the theory. 
And you can think of it as a kind of an opaque
time period that we can't really see through
what was going on at this time period
because electrons and protons
were being scattered by that gravitational
influence.
This is what Einstein had expected as well.
Now I've got another picture
which hopefully is going to describe it a
little bit better. You can see at that time of the
Big Bang--the big flash--that we can't
really
look back and see it very clearly, because
we were blocked by this time period
of what you might call the Quantum Gravity
Era, and that's this time period of rapid,
super-rapid expansion
when the background radiation--
the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB)
radiation
was found by the scientists working
in the Antarctic at the BICEP2
telescope just this last month,
they they found that indeed, there does
look
like there's strong evidence to suggest
that there has been a tremendously fast
inflationary period
just following the Big Bang. What they're looking at
is seeing evidence of polarized light
that is evenly distributed throughout
our universe, which in our universe comes
from a subsequently
smoother inflationary period from that time of
super-fast inflation at a rate that just
boggles the mind, frankly.
it's hard to even contemplate how fast things were
expanding.
It looks like it was it at a rate of about 10 to the 16th
and so the energy subsequently
and the frequency of those energy waves is
much more powerful than anything we even
have
such as at the Large Hadron Collider so
we're talking about 10
trillion times the peak energies that we
even have
here, and at those energy levels,
all of the forces except the gravitational forces
in physics--all three of the other forces:
the strong, the weak, and the
electromagnetic--
were all operating as one. So that's what
this picture showing is that our
our very universes has evolved from this
massively fast expansion
and that's where things get really
exciting for me personally.
I mentioned that I have written that
book called, "Quantum Jumps,"
and the premise of the book is that we
do live in a holographic multiverse.
Now what that means is--and
research currently is starting to begin
to support that this indeed is a
multiverse--because of
the expansionary nature of the rapid
beginning and the fact that new
universes can spring up so easily.
This is no longer
pure theory, but now the multiverse is
becoming an
explanation for some of the theories that are out there right now.
I find that super exciting, because if we
do live in the kind of holographic multiverse
that I write about and that I talk about,
then
we're starting to see some confirmation
of this scientifically.
In just the last month, actually, 
which some scientists thought we might
never see in our lifetime.
And because the evidence at this rapid
inflation
is now coming to light, all of the
multiverse theories are gaining
a great deal more ground and a lot more
backing, so that means
in the future--maybe twenty years or less
from now--
we might actually start getting some
strong evidence
of these otherwise just hitherto
purely theoretical parallel
universes
outside our own. So I hope that gives you
something to think about!
Until next time, keep asking, "How good can
it get?"
