Big Bang = "In the beginning, God said and there was . . ."

We had a thread on this very topic about 6 weeks ago....

So far in this thread, nobody has mentioned the MOST important result of this discovery: it falsifies the Ekpyrotic Theory of Cosmology, the only other viable competitor with Inflationary Big Bang Cosmology.

This means that, for the moment, BB Inflationary Cosmology is the only theory left standing.

I have no idea if the Ekpyrotic Model can be revised to accomodate this data.

Does this explain why I can see fish better when I have my polarized sun glasses on?

I'd rather broil them, than microwave, though.

(Catchy name, BTW - back in graded school, a bio. on PH was the first book of over 300 pp. that I ever read --and enjoyed it even....)
