The little black lines represent polarization of the cosmic background radiation. It’s a little obscure. but what we’re seeing here is the polarization of photons brought about by gravity waves basically at the moment of creation. This – apparently – provides evidence confirming the concept of inflation. I admit to being just a little fuzzy on the specifics, but the people who know about such things seem pretty excited.

Once again, science made predictions, and they were confirmed. That’s how it works.

And for anyone who thinks that there ain’t passion in science… witness one of the originators of the Inflation Theory, Andre Linde, being informed that his prediction has been confirmed:
