Personally, I don't understand why the OP is upset about the posting of the video. It was on a site specific to the field and not in the mainstream media, maybe it was picked up by some station or something, but it was originally not a mainstream network vid.

If anything, this thread is proof of the religious right trying to always spin anything that doesn't agree with their 6000 year old earth mumbo jumbo into an attack on them.

Newsflash, you are not a victim just because this man's idea about the big bang was "proven." You can believe whatever you want. Also "physicsworld.com" is not main stream media.
I'm not religious, not even spiritual.

Kind of negates everything you just ranted about above, doesn't it?

Physicsworld.com is where you have to go to find the DISSENTING view...

and nothing (in regards to inflation) was proven....that is the point of the thread

Do you want to discuss the findings or continue your quasi-partisan whining?

Why was this news broken as a "smoking gun"? It was very straightforward...lol

No conspiracy theory...just a wild exaggeration and propaganda. Let me know if I can clear anything else up for you.
I still don't get it. Please explain your theory on why it has received media attention... and why that media attention is a problem for you.

NOTE: you notice one of the references in regards to the "Multiverse"??

I think it's worth noting the angle here. The "Multiverse" is one of the hypothesis that scientists have been beating their heads against the wall for explaining away the cosmological constant which suggests "fine tuning" of the universe.

Take that for whatever it's worth.

Nice strawman...

How about this...??

How about reporting something as a "smoking gun" when it actually is a smoking gun??

Insane, I know...because I'd be wrong to suggest that it'd be propaganda otherwise.
