Me_think, Multiverse born out of Inflation, Gravitational Waves are seen as evidence of Inflation. The Waves and the Multiverse go hand in hand. Inflation guys like Linde are the Multiverse guys.ppolish

Mapou,
If there are no gravitational waves, how do you explain the slowing down of the binary pulsar PSR 1913+16?skram

Looking for gravitational waves, huh? What a waste of time, brains and money. There are no gravitational waves for the simple reason that gravity is an instantaneous nonlocal phenomenon. Newtonian physics assumes that gravity is instantaneous. Newton was right. All the planets and moons move in their orbit as if gravity were instantaneous, just as predicted by Newton. Otherwise, the solar system would be unstable and would have fallen apart a long time ago.
The crackpottery is deep in the physics community. Remember the faster than light neutrino fiasco at CERN a few years ago?Mapou

BICEP2 result which was withdrawn is about gravitational waves, not multiverse.Me_Think

Found the "smoking gun". Smoke was dust.

At least most of the smoke if not all. But new expirements are underway.ppolish

Curtain falls on controversial big bang result - 30 January 2015
Excerpt: As predictably as the heroine’s death in an opera, the biggest claim in cosmology in years has finally officially unraveled. Last March, cosmologists working with a specialized telescope at the South Pole called BICEP2 claimed direct evidence that in the first fraction of a second after the big bang, the universe underwent a bizarre exponential growth spurt called inflation. The signs came in their study of the big bang’s afterglow, the cosmic microwave background (CMB). But now, in a joint analysis with cosmologists working with the European Space Agency’s (ESA’s) Planck spacecraft, BICEP researchers take back that claim and report no such signs of inflation, according to a press release issued by ESA.
