stash Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Yes and I fell asleep reading this ( i must be thick !) as this was for " simpletons" http://arxiv.org/pdf/1402.6980v2.pdf Still seems like everyday people release things before others have verified it time and time again. Seem to remember they(someone) thought they had slowed light down in an experiment - wow greatest thing since e=mc2 - only to find it was not true. Oh well back to the drawing board - still interesting read even if I didn't understand it 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xanthic Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 Disproving a theory is still good science. The fact that this is published openly and open to review is a positive thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest devil74 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Quantitative theories are always going to be scrutinised over and over, especially in this field...hopefully lessons have been learned before making announcements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
