Something for all the Eggheads to ponder...

First speed of gravity measurement revealed
NewScientist.com ^ | 01/07/2003 | Ed Fomalont and Sergei Kopeikin

Excerpt:

We became the first two people to know the speed of gravity, one of the fundamental constants of nature," the scientists say, in an article in New Scientist print edition. One important consequence of the result is that it places constraints on theories of "brane worlds", which suggest the Universe has more spatial dimensions than the familiar three.

John Baez, a physicist from the University of California at Riverside, comments: "Einstein wins yet again." He adds that any other result would have come as a shock.

Thanks for your post Meek. I am far from an egghead but I am enjoying the book "A Beautiful Mind"....Einstein was a contemporary of John Nash so he and his theorums are featured prominently in the book.
