We just released a short section of our exclusive interview with , George Efstathiou, who was the scientist chosen to present the cosmology results for the European Space Agency's Planck Probe. This is the latest spacecraft to map the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), the oldest light we can see in the universe.
By making maps of the CMB Planck tried to constrain models of cosmic inflation. Inflation is a period of exponential expansion of space that is believed can generate a multiverse.
NASA already claimed some evidence for inflation in their data. We asked George Efstathiou whether the Planck data can say if the data favours the type of inflation that leads to a multiverse. He not only said yes but that its the most important result from Planck

I had just made a post in General Science. There are sub-forums for the various branches of science. I immediately noticed that quantum physics was missing. THIS article belongs there. Yes, I'm a newbie, but I already see a need for a sub-forum specifically for this branch of science.
