Description
I will review basics of CMB physics and show that reflecting boundary conditions from the Big Bang are sufficient to explain the primordial power spectrum. If time permits I will try to explain how higher derivative quantum corrections to gravity can explain the scale invariance of the large wavelength modes in the CMB power spectrum.
