To: the invisib1e hand
they’ve been wrong before.

And they don't have the correct answer now, of that I'm 100% sure, so what?

As our understanding of these things increases, other scientists will say "how on earth could they not understood this or that". And then they will adjust the calculations to reflect the most current state of human knowledge. So what? That's how progress is made. That's how we developed the first atomic bomb.

Rather than come to mock them, why didn't you put in your estimate of how much energy it took?

I suspect it's because you don't know enough to even make a guess. So you are reduced to acting like a screaming monkey, jumping up and down and and shouting "they're wrong! They're wrong".

Maybe you should lay off the halucanogenics. To wit, where did I say anything remotely like that? Because I used the word "wrong" in a sentence, you transalate it that way?

The damndest thing about trying to communicate is the absolute gamut of misconceptions that people who probably watch wayyy too much TV misread into the simplest statements.
