Amazed Scientist Discovers He Was Right About the Big Bang All Along
Imagine knowing that your entire philosophy on life — all you ever worked for — was proven right. That’s what just happened to Andrei Linde, a physics professor at Stanford University, upon the discovery of proof of gravitational wave. “Tremors” of the Big Bang are the waves said to be the first definitive evidence of the theory that the universe is expanding. It’s also an integral part of a theory that Linde has been working on for 30 years — meaning his theories were not only right, but also a huge contributor to the future of space study. Chao-Lin Kuo, an assistant physics professor at Stanford who worked with a team on the new discovery, surprised Linde at his home with the news. Watch the heartwarming revelation above.
