Oh, geez, the headline says "Big Band" while the article says "Big Bang". I was really hoping that somehow, "In the Mood" was merely a figment of the collective imagination, that Tommy Dorsey, Cab Calloway, Ish Kabibble and Glenn Miller were just products of some particularly contorted and perverted conspiracy. Imagine my disappointment!
Frankly, I'm cool with the idea of the quantum corrections being inserted into general relativity's field equations. And I'm cool with the idea that this might imply a universe that didn't start with a bang.. But how does the new hypothesis explain the (increasing and accelerating) red-shifts found when observing distant galaxies?
