The Higgs boson is delightfully stirring the mud puddle in the astrophysics community even after found! Instead of clearing everything up, now more questions have to be asked.
British cosmologists are puzzled: they predict that the universe should not have lasted for more than a second. This startling conclusion is the result of combining the latest observations of the sky with the recent discovery of the Higgs boson. Robert Hogan of King's College London (KCL) presents the new research on June 24 at the Royal Astronomical Society's National Astronomy Meeting in Portsmouth.
The controversy seems to be about one of the predictions of BICEP2 allegedly being observed, and if so, Robert Hogan seems to think that if they did see this effect, then the universe would not exist today, it would have went straight to 'Big Crunch' right after the 'Big Bang'.
Pop the corn, this may be a good one!

Why bother fussing with the details of a now discredited theory?
Sounds like s skit out of the Big Bang Theory arguing about superheros.
No, you are mistaken. I've always had this sig.

Yeah, fuck that. A comment thread is for making pop culture references, not for having any kind of discussion about the related article.

Not a discredited theory. All they have to do is invent yet another particle.
