SOUNDBITE (English) George Efstathiou, astrophysicist, director of the Kavli Institute for Cosmology, University of Cambridge: "The most important result is that we have a theory of the universe very, very close to the Big Bang itself, that the universe accelerated faster than the speed of light and became the very big universe that we live in. I think the main result from Planck is that the results fit beautifully with that type of theory - almost perfectly." 9. Wide shot inside ESA conference with graphics on screens 10.

SOUNDBITE (English) George Efstathiou, astrophysicist, director of the Kavli Institute for Cosmology, University of Cambridge: "It tells us that our universe is a little bit older than previously thought - by about 80 million years." 12.

SOUNDBITE (English) George Efstathiou, astrophysicist, director of the Kavli Institute for Cosmology, University of Cambridge: "From the Dark Matter point of view, it's weakly interacting, but we don't know what this stuff is....so Planck can't tell us what it is, whether it's a super-symmetric particle left over from the big bang. On the dark energy, Planck, combined with other astrophysical data, can test whether the dark energy is a cosmological constant, as Einstein first proposed, or whether it has some dynamical properties, whether it changes in time. And that we've tested, and as far as we can see with the Planck data, it's very close to a cosmological constant - that is the dark energy is a property of the vacuum, it's a property of empty space and it doesn't change with time." 14. Pan from scientists and journalists talking to Efstathiou being interviewed STORYLINE: New results from a look into the split second after the Big Bang indicate the universe is a bit older than previously thought, but the core concepts of the cosmos - how it began, what it's made of and where it's going - seem to be on the right track. The findings bolster a key theory called inflation, which says the universe burst from subatomic size to its now-observable expanse in a fraction of a second. The European Space Agency's Planck space probe looked back at the afterglow of the Big Bang, and those results have now added about 80 million years to the universe's age, putting it 13.81 billion years old. The Big Bang is the most comprehensive theory of the universe's beginning. It says the visible portion of the universe was smaller than an atom when, in a split second, it exploded, cooled and expanded rapidly, much faster than the speed of light. George Efstathiou, director of the Kavli Institute for Cosmology at the University of Cambridge, who announced the results on Thursday, says the findings also offer new specificity of the universe's composition. Officials at NASA, which also was part of the experiment, said this provided a deeper understanding of the intricate history of the universe and its complex composition.
