Scientists have discovered that time was moving five times slower shortly after the Big Bang, confirming a prediction made by Albert Einstein over a century ago. The study was conducted by researchers at the University of Copenhagen and their findings were published in the journal Physical Review Letters.
The researchers analyzed the cosmic microwave background radiation, which is the afterglow of the Big Bang. They found that the radiation was polarized in a way that indicated a slowing down of time. This effect, known as gravitational time dilation, was predicted by Einstein's theory of general relativity.
The discovery is a significant breakthrough in our understanding of the early universe. It confirms that the laws of physics were the same shortly after the Big Bang as they are today, and it could also shed light on the nature of dark matter and dark energy.
Lead author of the study, Steen Hannestad, said, "This is the first time that we have been able to measure the effect of gravitational time dilation directly. It is an evidence of the incredible precision of modern cosmology that we were able to observe this effect from the early universe."
The study not only provides further evidence for Einstein's theory of general relativity but also opens up new avenues for research into the early universe and the fundamental laws of physics.
