London, June 7 : By studying the cosmic microwave background (CMB), a team of physicists has claimed that time might have existed even before the Big Bang in the Universe.

According to a BBC report, CMB is the light emitted when the universe was just 400,000 years old, and is regarded as the most conclusive evidence for the Big Bang.

Although this microwave background is mostly smooth, the Cobe satellite in 1992 discovered small fluctuations that were believed to be the seeds from which the galaxy clusters we see in today’s Universe grew.

Dr Adrienne Erickcek, and colleagues from the California Institute for Technology (Caltech), now believes these fluctuations contain hints that our Universe “bubbled off” from a previous one.
