Evidence of Inflation: B-mode Polarization

With the detection of B-mode polarization, we were one step closer to making sure that inflation is indeed true.

Even if we were able to predict inflation, it will not be helpful for us if we cannot show that it is indeed real.

In this video, Prof. Goto will discuss how can we prove that inflation is real by detecting what we call B-mode polarization. He will also mention one instance of this detection using the BICEP2 telescope located at South Pole.
