This goes into a bit more detail :)

Very interesting as to what this could be! Something we've never seen before!

Interesting! There was also a new theory which recently suggested that the Universe should have ceased to exist after the first 1 second of expansion. Did anyone see that?

Very interesting, once again.

I believe the scientific method tells us there is either a wrong assumption or a wrong derivation somewhere in that.

Amen! And I also heard that bumble bees can't fly. It's physically impossible. Speaking of observations that fly in the face of current understanding of the phenomena though, what ever happened to the observation someone made about 15 years ago that there seemed to be some significant BLUE shift in some very far away stars?  That is potentially a revolutionary contradiction to BB theory, right? How come we never heard any more about that?

As I understand it, there are no such observations remaining to be explained. Blueshift doesn't occur anywhere it is inexplicable.

Bumblebees only live for a second? I don't think so!
