That's pretty far out if you ask me. How can they claim they've discovered a universe? It seems to me that I've heard physicists say over and over that the laws of physics break down as you approach the time of the beginning of our universe. If we don't understand how things worked just after the beginning, how can we claim to understand what happened before the beginning? How will they begin to prove this idea with an experiment? It's not science, but a flight of fancy.
