That is absolutely the most interesting question. Cosmology is "on the move" again, just as we've got blase about the accelerating universe. They're talking about ruling out various flavours of inflationary theory in some of the articles, although caution is advised, as ever, until the results are replicated independently. The results are apparently surprising (I think the size of the blobs is larger han expected, or something?) so it would be nice to get this confirmed from a different part of the sky, with a different team using a different detector.
