Big bang ping.

[This ping list for the evolution -- not creationism -- side of evolution threads, and sometimes for other science topics. If you want to be included, or dropped, let me know.]

Everyone be careful not to let the polarizer cross-foot with the flux capacitor and get dis-grontified or you might end up like this:

"If the light hadn't been polarized, that would mean that we would have to throw out our whole model of how we understand the physics of the early universe,"

Here's something for some physicist somewhere. What is polarization? I don't mean it's something detected by transparent crystal arrays or created by reflection off specular surfaces. I mean, what is it that lines up in a preferred direction? You can throw in photons to your explanation, even though the jury is still out on Einstein's mind baby.

CMB proves the big bang like belly buttons prove evolution from monkeys.

Depending on the detail observed, this could be another indirect observation of gravity waves.

Well?? Do we live in a more P-polarized universe or a more S-polarized universe? What's the extinction ratio? Enquiring minds and all...

Good post! Another victory for the scientific method. The anti-science cre-IDs are going to be upset again.
