AbstractThe current cosmological model for a theory of the Big Bang still leaves open a question how the entire observable Universe being spawned in a dramatic, exponential "Inflation" from a sub-nuclear, microscopical volume to the current macro-scale volume of spacetime. While extraordinarily sensitive measurements of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation (temperature and polarization at mm/sub-mm wavelengths) are traditionally associated with large CMB surveys, the ultra-deep “sky maps” are
