Actually, he’s not saying that it is a conspiratory theory, he’s saying it has no evidence. Different things. Creationists also use the inflation model. It just does not have the evidence to support it. Not in the kind being described.
Right. So when he says this.....
"Inflation is such a foundation for modern big bang cosmogony that it is almost unthinkable among cosmologists that it might not exist. Thus the claim of first discovery of evidence for inflation carries much reward when compared to the risk of eventually being proved wrong"
....he's talking about evidence and not politics?
Cobblers, he saying that the majority have the funding and mind share whilst those with minority views are marginalised. Well that's just tough isn't it? It's the way things work but the beauty of science is that the truth will eventually emerge, because it HAS to - errors in science get fixed because eventually things don't work unless they are.
And if he thinks that a physicist would sit on positive proof of a mainstream theory being wrong because of some weird conspiracy against it, he's out of his mind.
