Description
The cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation is the oldest light we can see. Since it bears the imprint of the universe just after the Big Bang (at a mere 0.003% of the universe’s age today), observations of the CMB are a crucial tool in our quest to understand how the Universe began and the physical laws governing it. In this talk, I will give an overview of current and upcoming CMB experiments: their status, recent results and forecasts for the future.
