Flutterby™! : Gravitational Waves

Your feel-good video of someone being suprised with the news that their prediction made 30 years ago is true: Stanford Professor Andrei Linde celebrates physics breakthrough (YouTube):

Assistant Professor Chao-Lin Kuo surprises Professor Andrei Linde with evidence that supports cosmic inflation theory. The discovery, made by Kuo and his colleagues at the BICEP2 experiment, represents the first images of gravitational waves, or ripples in space-time. These waves have been described as the "first tremors of the Big Bang."

This from the news that gravitational waves have apparently been measured, supporting the WMAP inflation theory of the universe.
