No, not the TV sitcom. The cosmology theory cosmologists love to hate. The story is really about the fact that inflation theory — way Cooler than the Big Bang — was not especially confirmed:
Astronomers used a telescope facility called BICEP-3 (short for Background Imaging of Cosmic Extragalactic Polarization) to study the CMB and its polarization. The telescope’s South Pole location, with its altitude of nearly two miles above sea level and incredibly dry air, is an ideal place to conduct this kind of research. BICEP-3 scientists combined their data with measurements at other facilities and found no indication of B-modes originating from the CMB. If B-modes are present in the CMB, they are very small. So, does that mean that the theory of inflation must be thrown out? No, although the data has disproved some of the simpler theories of inflation, it isn’t sensitive enough to rule out the more complex versions. Still, the failure to observe CMB B-modes is unsettling, causing some scientists to go back to the drawing board.
There are those who are discomfited when a scientific measurement draws into question a theory that is popular among researchers, but they shouldn’t be. The self-correcting nature of science is actually its strongest asset.
Don Lincoln, “The problem with the Big Bang theory” at CNN (November 4, 2021)
Note: “While those people who crave certainty in their life might be unhappy because of the new measurement, it’s important to remember that there are no sacred cows in science, and scientists are always checking and rechecking even their favorite universal models.” – Don Lincoln
Try doubting that humans are responsible for global warming and watch the herd of sacred cows stampede…
Okay, here’s the sitcom:

Yeah the last I checked inflation was an attempt to explain the Big Bang and it’s funny because years back and bicep2 results tried to confirm chaotic inflation and it turned out to be cosmic dust
Now 3 is killing that theory
Hmm, The results were published on October 4, 2021,
And yet, on October 13, 2021, a week after the results came out, Ethan Siegel appealed to inflation to try to get around the fact that the universe had a beginning.
OOPS!

As Dr. Miller pointed out, Inflationary theory was initially developed to “explain away’ the fine-tuning implied by the “flatness” of space and the near perfect uniformity of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR).
The interesting thing about theoretical physicists trying to ‘explain away’ the fine-tuning implied by the “flatness” of space and the near perfect uniformity of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR) is that the Bible, (long before the “flatness” of space and the near perfect uniformity of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR) were even discovered), is on record at to ‘predicting’ the “flatness” of space and the near perfect uniformity of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR).
That the Bible predicted this really should not be all that surprising. After all, besides the Bible correctly, and uniquely, predicting a beginning for the universe in the first place, modern science itself was born out of Judeo-Christian worldview, and the Judeo-Christian worldview alone, and modern science is still very much predicated on presuppositions that can only be reasonably grounded within the Judeo-Christian worldview.
But anyways, in spite of the fact that theoretical physicists ignore, and/or have been deceived about, the fact that they are dependent upon Judeo-Christian presuppositions in the first place, there are a few interesting things to note about the “flatness” of space and the near perfect uniformity of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR).
In regards to the flatness of the universe we find that, “The Universe today is actually very close to the most unlikely state of all, absolute flatness.”
Yet if the universe were not ‘ever so boringly flat’, then the rules of Euclidean geometry would not apply.
Simply put, without some remarkable degree of exceptional, and stable, flatness for the universe, (as well as exceptional stability for all the other constants), Euclidean (3-Dimensional) geometry would not be applicable to our world. or to the universe at large, and this would make science and engineering for humans, for all practical purposes, all but impossible.
This ‘insane coincidence’ of the flatness of the universe, that allows us to apply abstract mathematics to the universe in the first place, adds considerable weight to both Einstein’s and Wigner’s claim that the applicability of math to the universe is, by all rights, to be considered a miracle:
Besides chaotic inflation theory failing to explain “the fine-tuning implied by the “flatness” of space and the near perfect uniformity of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR), chaotic inflation also fails to explain ‘unexpected anomalies’ in the CMBR.
More interesting still, some of these anomalies in the CMBR, which chaotic inflation theory is at an impasse to explain, are found to ‘unexpectedly’ line up with the earth and solar system:
Here is an excellent clip from “The Principle” that explains these ‘anomalies’ in the CMBR data, that ‘unexpectedly’ line up with the earth and solar system, in an easy to understand manner.
Moreover, besides the earth and solar system ‘unexpectedly’ lining up with these anomalies in the Cosmic Background Radiation, Radio Astronomy also now reveals a surprising rotational coincidence for Earth in relation to the quasar and radio galaxy distributions in the universe:
Moreover, this surprising rotational coincidence for Earth in relation to the quasar and radio galaxy distributions in the universe also happens to combine with the anomalies in the CMBR data to ‘unexpectedly’ give the earth a ‘central’ position in the universe.
As the following article, (with a illustration) explains,
Thus, contrary to the presumptions of atheists, far from the tiny temperature variations in the CMBR being a product of random quantum fluctuations, as they erroneously presuppose to be true in their chaotic inflation theory, the tiny temperature variations in the CMBR, (due to the ‘insane coincidence’ of the universe being ‘flat to 1 part within 10^57), are found to correspond to the ‘largest scale structures of the observable universe’ and these ‘largest scale structures of the observable universe’ reveal “a surprising rotational coincidence for Earth”.
In short, the “tiny temperature variations” in the CMBR, and the large scale structures in the universe, combine with each other to reveal teleology, (i.e. a goal directed purpose, a plan, a reason), that specifically included the earth from the start of the universe. ,,, The earth, from what our best science can now tell us, is not some random cosmic fluke as atheists had erroneously presupposed in their chaotic inflation theory.
And again, this ‘special’ position for the earth in the universe really should not be all that surprising to discover. Besides the Bible correctly, and uniquely, predicting a beginning for the universe, as well as the Bible correctly, and uniquely, predicting that the universe would be flat, and that a circle would be inscribed on the ‘face of the deep’, (and besides the fact that modern science itself is crucially dependent on presuppositions that can only be reasonably grounded in the Judeo-Christian worldview), besides all that, the Bible is also on record as to correctly, and uniquely, predicting that the Earth was specifically intended by God from the very beginning of creation.
