BICEP2 was a respected scientific collaboration, and it ended up like this:

The even took a touching video of one of the participants notifying the theorist that predicted the result about their achievement.

- donquixote25 4y agoWhat is your point? That we should distrust everything in a scientific journal? You are shifting the goal post. First, you wanted a publication. Now, you say that would not be enough? I am inclined to believe a publication unless other plasma physicist come out with a contradictory information. It's easy to be cynic...
