The most detailed portrait ever taken of the radiation left over from the Big Bang provides fresh evidence that the universe began with a tremendous growth spurt, expanding from subatomic scales to the size of a grapefruit in less than a trillionth of a second.

I hate how the media makes up headlines that are false. That's just evidence, not a confirmation.

Unless they saw that, I'm not convinced.

What I mean is that the article headline makes it sound as if it's all 100% proven and there is no other possible explanation. They have a type of picture that adds more weight to an already strong theory, but they haven't proven anything.

Unless you have a time machine that the rest of us can use then we will never have 100 % truth.

Not really. Even if he had a time machine, laws of physics progressively bent when nearing the big bang, there would be no past or future provided at some point.
