Implications of Primordial Gravitational Waves

The confirmation of primordial gravitational waves would have significant implications for our understanding of the universe. It would provide evidence for inflationary models and offer support for the existence of a multiverse. On the other hand, it would refute cyclic models. Future experiments and tools, such as the Viraruban Observatory and the James Webb Space Telescope, are also sources of excitement.
