9:30 Coffee Break: Big Bang

March 19, 2014

Earth from Space
The Big Bang got a bit of a boost this week.

On Monday a team of astronomers led by John Kovac of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics announced that it had detected ripples from gravitational waves created in a violent inflationary event at the dawn of time.
The reaction in the scientific community was cautiously exultant. The new result was hailed as potentially one of the biggest discoveries of the past two decades.

We figured with this big bang discovery we needed a Coffee Break full of bang. What "bang" songs should we play?
