Whew, I'm glad ther...Gee, polarized space dust. Whew, I'm glad there's nothing in the universe that could be polarizing space dust except 'ripples in the yadda yadda yadda field', except our own planet's magnetosphere, or the sun, and the stars in our galaxy, the ambient background charge field, and other galaxies, and .... yeah, pretty much anything else that can produce electromagnetism. I also noticed there were no graphical overlays over the computer generated images of polarized dust to indicate the orientation of the polarized dust in relation to the night sky. If the dust happened to be more polarized in relation to the plane of the solar system or the galactic plane or core, I'm willing to bet more than a few people would say 'so what'? I'm no physicist and even I was asking: "How do you know what polarized the dust and how long ago?" and "Since when did hypothetical gravity waves become involved with polarizing particles of anything, much less dust?" <br /><br /> Perhaps if there was honesty in advertising, BICEP2 could have been called GIGO instead. It would have been far closer to the truth and more fitting to what was really going on. CFTnoreply@blogger.com
