Description |
The cosmic microwave background (CMB) carries within it the imprints of the primordial sound. These primordial acoustic oscillations in turn hide within them information about the initial conditions and composition of the Universe. The study of the signatures of the acoustic oscillations in the CMB forms the foundation of modern cosmology. I will discuss what we have learned so far and how observations of the acoustic oscillations and other features of the CMB may reveal new secrets in the near future. |
