The Big Bang

What a time to be alive!
The most significant scientific findings, in millenia are being discovered not only during our lifetime but in just this decade. These findings will be marked down for generations to come. It was during the first few years of the 21st Century they found out the true size of our universe( 14 billion light years, 400 billion galaxies, each with 300 billion stars), the finding of 700 earth like exoplanets and the realisation of billions more, the time when man  was truly able to comprehend the Earth's position in the stars.
 2013/4 was the year The Big Bang was finally proven incontrovertibly with the actual echo and light from that moment a trillion trillion trillionth of a second after the Big Bang taking place being discovered. This was the time the Higgs Boson was found. Of course Einstein foresaw a lot of these findings, but it has taken decades for technology to catch up.
The next frontier? Of course to find other life, but also to detect the 'Multiverse'. 
Fascinating times!
