Yup. These guys did not perform an experiment that proved this. They proposed a method for performing an experiment that would do so.

IOW, Sheldon and Leonard, the theoretical physicists, have come up with an idea. They need to get Howard onto it to make it actually work.

Assuming he can tear himself away from the robotic arm.

Don’t these scientists know the science is settled? Once the debate is over there is no need to ever continue testing theories. Consensus you know.

All this based on some scribbled equations on the back of a napkin at some nondescript coffee shop. How can anyone take science seriously when these types of claims are published?

Thanks for posting. My thoughts from your fingertips.
