The recent BICEP2 measurement of primordial gravity waves...appears to be in
tension with the upper limit from WMAP... and Planck... We carefully quantify the level of tension and show that it is very significant (around 0.1%unlikely) when the observed deficit of large-scale temperature power is taken into account.

Rick,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for monitoring these very technical AND very important papers and helping to get them "translated" and out into the mainstream for public comprehension and consumption!
