Cosmos may show echoes of events before Big Bang

Here's a technical blog on the subject, but it's not much use if you don't already have some idea of how the data is analysed in terms of spherical harmonics:

However, you can get some idea from this diagram (larger version is available in the blog):

This is the WMAP spectral graph above, including the L=40 bump, as seen and presented by the "science journalists". All the context and sensible quantitative perspective on the "big picture" is totally erased and an infinitesimal bump is suddenly promoted to a proof that "upends" inflationary cosmology if not the Big Bang theory itself.

Most people are just way too gullible.
