Oh dear and after all that ridiculous hype: Gravitational Wave Discovery Might Not Have Inflation Origin

Last month, astrophysicists announced a groundbreaking discovery: compelling evidence for gravitational waves had been found and the source of these waves might be the inflationary period just after the Big Bang.

Compelling the evidence may be, but could there be another explanation?

In a paper submitted to the arXiv preprint archive last week, a trio of theoretical physicists pushed back on the historic Cosmic Extragalactic Polarization 2 (BICEP2) finding, suggesting that there may be another source of the gravitational waves: What if they weren’t generated during the rapid period of inflation?
