certain versions of string theory
-------
If you get enough versions, at some time one will fit. The jury is still out on string theory. It is sort of like long term weather and stock market programs. They need a little tweak, after the fact, to explain what happened. Unfortunately they do not consistently explain what will happen, but there are so many around that occasionally one of them does, short term.

Another problem is the leap of faith that because the experiment yielded certain results, they can be extrapolated into what happened just after the big bang. Maybe yes, maybe no.

Good observations, however, and interesting, but I would not leap that far right now.
