Errors in Big Bang Data Larger Than Thought?

I found that and tought that you might be interested

Astronomers' Doubts About the Dark Side:

 

No more dark energy ???

 

Prof. Shanks comments "CMB observations are a powerful tool for cosmology and it is vital to check for systematic effects. If our results prove correct then it will become less likely that dark energy and exotic dark matter particles dominate the Universe. So the evidence that the Universe has a 'Dark Side' will weaken!"

 

What do you think of that ?

So, what kind of effect will this have on the standard bb model? It said something about blueshifting, so does that mean the universe is getting smaller now?

I have never beleived the big bang theory anyway.

This is just another flaw in a long line that have been found.

I don't even consider it (bb theory) plausible.

Could you please enumerate some of the flaws you find in the big bang.

 

As for the article I might be wrong, but they do not seem to be questioning the big bang theory. It seems to me that they are simply questioning the existence and prominence of dark energy, which should not be seen as a flaw in the big bang. Also even the scientists themselves state their paper will probably not change much, "Odds are that the standard model with its enigmatic dark energy and dark matter will survive ".

Yeah, there was nothing saying that the bb theory was wrong, just the amount of dark energy.
