摘要：
A brief overview of the links between the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and fundamental physics is given. After a summary of the basics of the CMB, and of current observations, topics are considered including the generation of perturbations, inflation and string theory, evidence for parity violation, variation of the fundamental constants, restrictions on alternative theories of gravity, primordial non-Gaussianity, early- and late-time Bianchi universes and topological defects.
