Similar more elusive B modes would provide dramatic evidence of inflation the theorized turbulent period in the moments after the big bang
Inflation is regarded a well theory among cosmologists because its predictions agree with observations but thus far there is not a definitive confirmation of the theory.
Measuring B modes generated by inflation is a possible way to alleviate lingering doubt. he detection of a primordial B-mode polarization signal in the microwave background would amount to finding the first tremors of the big bangsays
B modes from inflation are caused by gravitational waves. These ripples in space-time are generated by intense gravitational turmoil conditions that would have existed during inflation.
These waves stretching and squeezing the fabric of the universe would give rise to the telltale twisted polarization patterns of B modes.
