There has been some recent media chatter about the Timescape theory, because of this new paper:

By 2030, will a majority of cosmologists assign more than a 30% credence to a Timescape style theory?
By Timescape style, I mean:
- Rejecting the cosmological constant or dark energy
- Rejecting the cosmological principle
It should be pretty clear but if not I'll try to email some people, and for good beasure I won't bet on this market
