No Gravitational Wave and Inflation from BICEP2 Results

The fact that the gravitional waves were not detected by the BICEP2 results would on the surface appear to be a major failure by the scientific community.  By making these claims without confirming their findings the researchers circumvented the normal process of discovery but this can be attributed to the human condition.  These scientist involved understood that if they could prove that gravitional waves existed then the inflation of the universe theory would be solidified.  Because of the mistake they made in the interpretation of the data this was no longer a result that could confirm the inflation theory.  Through further investigation they recognized that they now know how to exclude the misleading data in the future.  This is a perfect example that through a presumed failure we have learned a great deal more that may lead us in the direction of actually proving the inflation theory of the universe.
