Post by thread:[OT] Penrose challenges inflationary cosmology

The Emperor still has no clothes on. > The Wheel turns... Or, the wheel "continually cycles through a series of "aeons," " (from the articel). Reader comments are interesting , banal, stupid, informative, ludicrous in various measure. I do like "The "Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe" (WMAP) mission has measured these variations and found that the universe is 13.7 billion years old, and it consists of 4.6% atoms, 23% dark matter, and 72% dark energy." Presumably the words "is" and "consists of" have specialist meanings in this context. Also "Science" as a verb looks like fun. Note that Penrose's paper is ~= 2 years old, so this may be slow Scientific news day material.
