A hiccup in the early Universe gave rise to a gravitational hum ⚡ экспресс

A brief pause in the expansion of the newborn Universe might have created a burst of gravitational waves detectable by Earth-based detectors.

An unexpected halt in the inflation of the newborn Universe may have left a burst of gravitational waves. Today they have stretched to frequencies accessible to Earth-based detectors like the Einstein Telescope. A brief pause in the cosmic surge—and we will gain a key to events right after the Big Bang.
🎯 The delay that gave rise to these waves was billions of billions of times shorter than the time it takes light to cross an atom.
