That makes two of us. I fully expect major developments to continue to unfold as time goes forward. If that weren't the case, we'd still be riding horses. It never ceases to amaze me when some new idea is put forth and the instant, AUTOMATIC reaction from the alleged scientific minds is a knee-jerk hecklefest like the one unfolding here.
As for this idea in particular, I know little enough about quantum physics to say I know virtually nothing, but I DO know that the current theory--it's rather full of things no one understands--has always sounded like it would ultimately need a wee bit o'fleshing out, and that major new understandings would undoubtedly unfold over time. Perhaps this will be one of them.

Yes. I wonder if it may have something to do with conservative's nervousness about what Bush and his PNAC buddies are up to, and so they find low risk places to vent rather than risk the attention of the bellicose enforcers of the current administration. Too many good people are gone from here because they dared to raise questions.
Or it may just be the herd instinct.
The Space.com article I linked to in post #41 has more of the science debate.
What never ceases to amaze me is the gullibility of people like yourself.
The overwhelming majority of stuff like this turns out to be nonsense, a scam, or both, and they tend to have commonalities in the way they're presented that set off the spidey-sense of the more scientifically educated rather quickly.
Because science education is so bad in this country and what people do learn about it tends to be from movies or sensationalized documentaries or news reports, and there are a great many people that just flat out hate science and scientists, unfortunately people develop this emotional fascination with the lone maverick supposedly overturning the scientific consensus (which is fairly rare, for every one that does, there were a million lone mavericks who were horribly wrong or mistaken and are now long forgotten) which is often exploited by scam artists.
