\textbf{The rise and fall of the biggest astrophysics discovery of the century highlights the importance of open, collaborative science}.
On 17 March
2014, the \href{http://www.cfa.harvard.edu/CMB/bicep2/}{BICEP2} collaboration announced 2014 \href{http://www.cfa.harvard.edu/CMB/bicep2/}{BICEP2}, a South Pole based experiment aimed at studying the
\href{http://arxiv.org/abs/1403.3985}{first detection properties of
so-called B-mode polarization}, light emitted more than 13 billion years ago during the Big Bang, made a
possible sensational \href{http://arxiv.org/abs/1403.3985}{announcement}. They claimed to have detected the signature of
the an exponential expansion of space in the early universe. This expansion, also called inflation, is believed to have occurred when the universe was extremely
young, from $10^{-36}$ seconds after the Big Bang to sometime between $10^{−33}$ young and
$10^{−32}$ seconds. Inflation is thought to be responsible for the existence of large-scale structures like clusters of
galaxies and galaxies, as well to explain why the universe appears
statistically homogeneous and isotropic, meaning that at large scales its properties are the same for all observers.
