Placing my bet on the old patent clerk.
Same here.
1987a has long been studied and the difference in time between the arrival of neutrinos and light here on Earth is understood.

It should also be noted that Franson is not an astrophysicist.

I can’t comprehend this stuff. However, it brings to mind Petr Beckman. He was a great, Hungarian mad scientist type who was a leading anti-communist writer back in the Reagan era. A real character. He took a lot of heat for questioning Einstein’s Theory. I hope this makes people take time to remember him.
Me too. But it's good to see that "settled science" is being challenged (are you listening, Al Gore?).
Having said that, objections to Relativity have always followed a two-step process:
Step 1: A scientist discovers a flaw in Einstein's work.
Step 2: (weeks later) The scientist finds an error in his own work. Einstein was right after all.
You and me both brotha. Quantum Theory is in complete disarray, requiring constant fudging and new variables to form fit itself to newly discovered data. No doubt, Einstein is rolling over in his grave.
