\textbf{The rise and fall of the biggest astrophysics discovery of the century and the importance of open, collaborative science}.
On 17 March 2014, the \href{http://www.cfa.harvard.edu/CMB/bicep2/}{BICEP2} collaboration announced the
first \href{http://arxiv.org/abs/1403.3985}{first detection of so-called B-mode
polarization, polarization}, a possible signature of the 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 $10^{−33}$ and $10^{−32}$ seconds. Inflation is thought to be resposible for the existence of large-scale structures like clusters of galaxies and
to explain why the universe appears statistically homogeneous and isotropic\footnote{Meaning that at large scales the properties of the universe are the same for all observers}.
