two nice commentaries on BICEP2, inflation, Steinhardt, et al
For anyone who hasn't seen them, here are two nice blog commentaries
on the recent claims and counter-claims of whether galactic dust could account for the BICEP2 observations, Steinhardt's Nature News and Views article ("Big Bang blunder bursts the multiverse bubble"), and whether or not inflation is a testable scientific theory: http://telescoper.wordpress.com/2014...tten-the-dust/ http://blog.richmond.edu/physicsbunn...still-science/ Enjoy, -- -- "Jonathan Thornburg [remove -animal to reply]" Dept of Astronomy & IUCSS, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana, USA "There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time." -- George Orwell, "1984" |
