- In response to Bill Wadge's recent post on Lerner's book:
- I haven't read the book and don't know about any specific arguments made
- therein, but it would seem that opposition to the big bang would have been
- dealt a major blow by this year's results from COBE and recent observations
- (by the balloon-based instruments) supporting it.
- Incidentally, I heard a lecture by Michael Turner (the U. Chicago physicist)
- at Lawrence Livermore Natl. Lab shortly after the COBE results were made
- public, and Turner made several (good-natured and quite funny) pokes at
- Lerner's hypothesis, using slides titled "The Big Bang REALLY Happened!" and
- the like... :)
