Very interesting result, potentially game-changing, but it also could be nothing too. Wait for more experiments before we can say for sure.
- trhway 13y agointeresting that BICEP2 polarization from gravitation waves as they describe it http://bicepkeck.org/faq.html http://bicepkeck.org/faq.html: "strong B-mode polarization at the much larger angular scales--2 to 4 degrees on the sky--where lensing is a tiny effect but where inflationary gravitational waves are expected to peak. " is of about the same scale as 500 million light years period of Baryon acoustic oscillations period (ie. baryonic (gravitating) matter density period): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baryon_acoustic_oscillations#BAO_Signal_in_the_Sloan_Digital_Sky_Survey http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baryon_acoustic_oscillations#BA...
