Watch Andrei Linde React to Being Told His Big Bang Inflation Theory is Correct

The world of astrophysics got the shaking of a lifetime earlier this week with the discovery of proof that the universe began with a bang. (Or cosmic inflation theory as it is more accurately known.) Now watch as Stanford University surprises Andrei Linde, one of the proponents of the theory, with the news of the discovery!

SO MANY FEELINGS. We imagine that it’s pretty gratifying to ask the cosmos such a big question and then actually get an answer back within one’s lifetime!
