Radiation Rings Hint Universe Was Recycled Over and Over
http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2010/11/recycled-universe/
"Most cosmologists trace the birth of the universe to the Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago. But a new analysis of the relic radiation generated by that explosive event suggests the universe got its start eons earlier and has cycled through myriad episodes of birth and death, with the Big Bang merely the most recent in a series of starting guns."

The Big Bang Theory deals with the formation of our current universe and explains why it's expanding. It doesn't imply that there were no universes before, so saying "most cosmologists trace the birth of the universe to the Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago. But..." as if there's a contradiction in there somewhere is kind of silly. Whoever wrote the article, didn't do a good job
Anyway, I am just nitpicking, this is great.
