Would the existence of B-modes in the cosmic background radiation (CMB) be an evidence for inflation? Many influential colleagues claim that this is indeed the case. But their arguments are based on standard cosmological schemes. Actually, pre-Big Bang patterns beyond conventional cosmology do not require inflation and can generate CMB B-modes.Two papers by the BICEP2 Collaboration : BICEP2 I: Detection Of B-mode Polarization at Degree Angular Scales, arXiv:1403.3985 read more
