My question is why is the Inquirer publishing this story now? The "press release" that is linked is almost a year old.
I can understand a physics journal taking about a year to publish a paper, but where was all of the excitement when RPI release the presser in March 2004?
I know, I had that same question ...lots of caution on the part of the researchers and journals ....is the only answer that I have.
rface...is that..note at #62 for real....or somebody just having some fun?
Hmmmmm.... you're right. But I don't remember reading that the experiment had been duplicated back in March of last year.
The Inquirer is apperently edited by someone who does (or at least used to) write for The Register, a computer indusrty online publication - one of the best IMHO. Still physics isn't these guys' long suit.
