Cosmic discovery 'Nobel Prize worthy'

Researchers believe they have found the signal left in the sky by the super-rapid expansion of space that must have occurred just fractions of a second after everything came into being.
Professor Alan Guth, a scientist from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, told the BBC that he thought the discovery was worthy of a Nobel Prize.
