Scientists may have finally found the key to unlocking the secrets of the Big Bang, and it all lies in understanding gravitational waves.
Scientists may have found a new way to unlock the vast secrets of the Big Bang—the cosmic event thought to have kicked off the expansion of the universe billions of years ago. The revelation came in 2023, when scientists found nearly imperceptible ripples within the very fabric of space and time as we know it. The ripples appear to be associated directly with rapidly spinning neutrons that we call pulsar timing arrays.
Phase transitions are essentially sudden changes within a substance’s properties. They usually only occur when a substance reaches a particular temperature—a critical temperature, like the boiling or freezing point for water. Many believe that a “first-order phase transition” right after the Big Bang occurred at the very start of time and that this triggered the first gravitational waves.
