Copernicusgate: Jeffrey Epstein, Lawrence Krauss, "The Principle" Documentary, and Copernicus

As I reported in earlier articles, in April 2014, Larry Krauss came out swinging at “The Principle“, a simple, but quite controversial film about cosmology and the Copernican Principle (which he interviewed for). I thought it could be traced back to things he said on camera about very interesting and challenging observations made by the WMAP satellite, but then after the interview, unexpectedly confirmed by the Planck satellite mission. And, I think that that is part of his reaction.

But, I think there is more to it than that. Larry Krauss’ friend Jeffery Epstein, a billionaire and convicted sex-offender, invited Krauss and a number of other top scientists to his personal island in the Virgin Islands (oh, the irony). One of the quotes from Krauss that producers and supporters of “The Principle” keep pointing to is the following on Edge.org:

But when you look at CMB map, you also see that the structure that is observed, is in fact, in a weird way, correlated with the plane of the earth around the sun. Is this Copernicus coming back to haunt us? That’s crazy. We’re looking out at the whole universe. There’s no way there should be a correlation of structure with our motion of the earth around the sun — the plane of the earth around the sun — the ecliptic. That would say we are truly the center of the universe.

He was asked about this quote in his interview in “The Principle”.

Recently, I came across this article:

Jeffrey Epstein And A Long History Of Slime

It details some of Epstein’s sexual exploits of minor girls, but also has interesting pictures of Krauss and other scientists I recognized on the Edge.org site. The quote from Krauss regarding Copernicus was made during one of the trips which included a visit to Epstein’s island!

I wonder if this is what has Lawrence Krauss riled up? Just recently the linked story and others have been popping up on the internet. See here, here, here. Perhaps unintentionally, the producers and supporters of “The Principle” have helped to promote a trip that Larry Krauss would rather be forgotten?
