Evening, guys, Ayshah here. First up, how did the universe | :00:07. | :00:11. | |
start? It's a huge question and one that scientists have spent years | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
trying to answer. Now a group of American scientists think they have | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
found evidence that could help us find out how it all began. Nel's got | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
more. It's one of the biggest questions | :00:23. | :00:30. | |
ever: how did the universe begin? Well, one idea is the big-bang | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
theory, a massive explosion that occurred almost 14 billion years ago | :00:34. | :00:39. | |
which created the universe. Some scientists think this bang was so | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
big that the universe expanded very quickly, stretching and squeezing | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
space as it grew and putting a twist on the light created at that moment. | :00:47. | :00:53. | |
This particular discovery was made by scientists in America using a | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
telescope based in the South Pole, where the skies are crystal clear. | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
They discovered a pattern seen in what we call the fading glow of the | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
big bang. It's the leftover light from the big bang itself. And by | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
looking at it very carefully, they've been able to see this | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
pattern in it that gives away what was happening in the universe just a | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
trillionth of a trillionth of a trillionth of a second after the | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
universe began itself right at the time of the Big Bang. What does this | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
mean for scientists like yourself? This is perhaps the first bit of | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
evidence that may well show that we really do understand where the | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
universe came from. The big-bang theory is just one of many ideas | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
about how the universe came into being, and there are still lots of | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
questions to be answered about this one. But scientists hope it could be | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
a step in answering one of the biggest questions of all time. | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
In just under an hour, Chelsea will face their old striker Didier Drogba | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
when they play Galatasaray in the second leg of their last-16 | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
Champions League tie. The Blues drew 1-1 in the first leg and will want | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
to avoid being the third English team to be knocked out at this stage | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
of the competition. Now, do you recognise the man in the | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
middle? Well, it's David Beckham, dressed up for his new role, a | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
special appearance in a comedy show your parents probably watched. It's | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
called Only Fools And Horses, and he's doing it for Sport Relief. | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
Here's a sneaky preview. And if I asked you to go out into the High | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
Street wearing a sarong, would you? Well... | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
Now, before I go, the engine sound in this clip is pretty loud. Now, | :02:31. | :02:41. | |
this is much quieter. The first was a Formula One car from last season | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
and the second from this season. Some people complained that the new | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
engines are too quiet and spoil the racing atmosphere, so there are | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
plans to bring in noisier engines. Head over to the Newsround website | :02:54. | :02:55. | |
to find out more. That's all from me for now. Good | :02:56. | :02:57. | |
night, guys. | :02:58. | :03:00. |
