"Scientists ranging from Cambridge University physicist Professor Stephen Hawking to Albert Einstein, have argued that the universe eventually will stop expanding and then implode under the force of gravity, destroying all life. NASA's research indicates, however, that this analysis is wrong. Using a satellite - the Microwave Anisotropy Probe (MAP), which has spent the past year peering into deep space - NASA has discovered a pattern of "hot spots" which, it says, proves that the universe is accelerating. This means, says NASA, that "that the universe is expanding too quickly to collapse."

Now both nasa & the media are finally forced to recant. We've criticised them for repeating (politically motivated?) lies (based on claimed ignorance) for several years.
