Microwave wrinkles promise statistics of the cosmos
Article Abstract:
Measurements of the cosmic microwave background, by current experiments and space probes planned for the early 21st century, may help pinpoint some of the fundamental parameters of cosmology. Such hopes depend on the validity of the current model of the early universe, known as Inflation.
