glider Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Initially was very worried but I read the title wrong, I thought it said "Death Star". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perkil8r Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) Thanks for sharing. It annoys me when the BBC and other mainstream media get hold of these stories and report it as if it is a new discovery. This hypothesis is years old now. I did a talk on this very process many months ago and the theory was years old then. I like that the BBC etc are reporting this stuff because it means that the public are getting drip fed some really good stuff, I just wish they wouldn't make it sound like it's new and revolutionary thinking or a new discovery all the time. I'm half expecting them to report that scientists have discovered that the Moon is not made of cheese, or that the Earth isn't actually flat Edited August 30, 2014 by Perkil8r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perkil8r Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Maybe I am being a bit harsh here. They have just found the evidence to prove the old theory, but often these stories are as I have just ranted about. I have to admit I skimmed it and didn't read it properly, now having done so and looked on various other websites too I see that this is the proof needed to rubber stamp the theory.

"Maybe I am being a bit harsh here" - yep. "They have just found the evidence to prove the old theory" - Theory's are useful but until proven they are just theories - if this is the proof then great another bit of the jigsaw proven (for now).
