Excellent presentation: An introduction, or possible review, of the BIG BANG theory by an originator of inflation theory, Alan Guth of MIT:

Note the video is in TWO PARTS...scroll down a bit for part II.

I didn't see a link. Here is one to Part II, you may have meant to include this:

I just sampled it. Seems a clear well-organized presentation accessible to broad audience.Thanks for the pointer!

I watched the entire video, it's an excellent overview. I'm trying to find that slide/graph showing the various fits for the multipole expansion of the CMB. I need to add that to the notes for my astronomy course. Any ideas?

Does anyone know where I can get Guth's "favorite graph in the whole world" and the one following in this talk (shows "curves representing other theories")? I emailed him a request, but he's probably too busy.
 
Thread 'LQG Legend Writes Paper Claiming GR Explains Dark Matter Phenomena'
A new group of investigators are attempting something similar to Deur's work, which seeks to explain dark matter phenomena with general relativity corrections to Newtonian gravity is systems like galaxies. Deur's most similar publication to this one along these lines was: One thing that makes this new paper notable is that the corresponding author is Giorgio Immirzi, the person after whom the somewhat mysterious Immirzi parameter of Loop Quantum Gravity is named. I will be reviewing the...
I seem to notice a buildup of papers like this: Detecting single gravitons with quantum sensing. (OK, old one.) Toward graviton detection via photon-graviton quantum state conversion Is this akin to “we’re soon gonna put string theory to the test”, or are these legit? Mind, I’m not expecting anyone to read the papers and explain them to me, but if one of you educated people already have an opinion I’d like to hear it. If not please ignore me. EDIT: I strongly suspect it’s bunk but...
