That's what I study. It's properties. And what it reveals is the oldest light in the universe, the oldest possible light. It was once visible. You could see it if you existed, but nobody existed back then. And it originates from the formation of the lightest elements and the lightest atoms on the periodic table.

So you could look back and if you could see this, you would see a pattern imprinted on that light called gravitational radiation or waves of gravity. And that would be evidence of something beyond the visible horizon. And that would actually originate from this inflationary epoch if it occurred.

So I had the idea to build the first telescope, a refracting telescope of all things, just a telescope with lenses, but lenses that are transparent to microwaves and focus microwaves. But I realized I could build that telescope. And if we were successful, I didn't think we wasn't guaranteed to be successful, but it was a big enough scientific quest.

that it was guaranteed to win a Nobel Prize if we were correct. And in fact, spoiler alert, my first book is called Losing the Nobel Prize because we had a retracted discovery that we made at Harvard on St. Patrick's Day 2014, 10 years ago.

Very clear. And that's how it relates to this p-hacking and everything else. We actually didn't have this paper peer reviewed. We were so concerned that a competitor, which is a spacecraft, a billion-dollar spacecraft, we were just a $10 million experiment, a little telescope at the South Pole, Antarctica, where I've been a couple times.

And that instrument bested a scientific telescope led by 1,000 people costing a billion dollars led out of multiple countries in America and Europe. And we were terrified, as many scientists are, that we're going to get scooped. In fact, the original discovery of the cosmic microwave background was made by accident.

The discovery of this three Kelvin heat source that's coming to us in all directions, i.e. it's a background, was made by accident at Bell Laboratories. And Bell Labs accidentally discovered it because they were looking at the very first communication satellites. AT&T, Bell Labs of communication. So they stumbled on it.
