Scientists have measured the amount of helium produced during the Universe's first five minutes with unprecedented precision, offering a clearer picture of the conditions that existed shortly after the Big Bang. The achievement, made by an international research team that includes scientists from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, represents a major advance in precision cosmology.
The findings, presented in five papers published in The Astrophysical Journal, are based on 130 hours of observations using the Large Binocular Telescope. By analyzing distant galaxies, the researchers reduced the uncertainty in this fundamental measurement to just 0.5%, making it three times more precise than previous estimates.
