Astronomers using a radio telescope at the South Pole reported on Thursday they had recorded a flicker of light from nearly 14 billion years ago that verifies most modern theory about the cosmos. Had the verification not been made, it would have tossed much current thinking into doubt, according to John Carlstrom of the University of Chicago. "Instead of stating that we think we really understand the origin and evolution of the universe with high confidence, we would be saying that we just dont know," absent the discovery, he said in an announcement from the university.
