Cosmic ping.
[This ping list is for the evolution -- not creationism -- side of evolution threads, and sometimes for other science topics. To be added (or dropped), let me know via freepmail.]

this measurement constrains the quantum gravity theory to certain parameters These pesky observational astronomers, always putting constraints on otherwise perfectly good theories.

If this continues to prove out, they'll have to rename the Max Planck Institute.

If they hadn't repaired the Hubble, we'd never be in this fix.

Wasn't Einstein very unhappy with quantum theory?

Quantum bits. Faugh!
When I was a kid, things were made of atoms, and I don't remember anyone complaining!

I keep reading suppositions that denote time a quality when it is no more than an observance.
Time is nothing more than measurement relative to observation.

Actually it's "bigger than big", even though the implication is "small ain't no thing".

Time is nothing more than measurement relative to observation. In everyday terms, the measurement of time compares the duration of the clocked event relative to an agreed-upon standard, such as the motion of the earth, etc.

Human curiosity (and human nature) always seeks neat models. The history of science demonstrates the hubris, however, in assuming that our models are absolute.
In this experiment, what is clearly proven (to me) is that there is a far deeper structure to the Cosmos than can be specified by quantum theory. The Eye of God and the photographs of Hubble behold a clarity beyond our understanding.
