Cosmic tangle: Loop quantum cosmology and CMB anomalies [CL]

http://arxiv.org/abs/2106.02481


Loop quantum cosmology is a conflicted field in which exuberant claims of observability coexist with serious objections against the conceptual and physical viability of its current formulations. This contribution presents a non-technical case study of the recent claim that loop quantum cosmology might alleviate anomalies in observations of the cosmic microwave background.
