Default Evidence for Cosmic Inflation Theory Bites the (Space) Dust

"It is the announcement no one wanted to hear: The most exciting
astronomical discovery of 2014 has vanished. Two groups of scientists
announced today (Jan. 30) that a tantalizing signal — which some
scientists claimed was "smoking gun" evidence of dramatic cosmic
expansion just after the birth of the universe — was actually caused by
something much more mundane: interstellar dust."
