Today Scientists announced the discovery of the first direct evidence of primordial gravity waves and by extension the first evidence strictly supporting the inflationary hypothesis of the big band theory. These are purely intellectual ideas that had enormous explanatory power about the nature of our universe but no direct evidence for their existence until now. While there is much work to be done to prove beyond reasonable doubt that these models represent the true nature of the universe, this announcement should remind us of the power of scientific method over superstition. Superstition asks you to believe a wild idea on faith alone or on the strength of a story. Science gives you a wild idea and then demands you go out and PROVE it!
