The Nobel prize for physics was awarded yesterday to two scientists who
helped to prove that the universe began with the big bang. John Mather
of the Nasa Goddard Space Flight Centre in Maryland and George Smoot of
the University of California, Berkeley, will share the 10m kronor
(=A3720,000) prize.
The big bang theory states that the universe was born in an explosion
almost 14bn years ago. Today we see that explosion as a background of
microwave radiation present throughout the universe.
