These ridiculous time frames with such certain numbers never cease to amaze me. Generally if you pick up a first-year physics text, the first chapter will cover precision and significant figures. Stop at Chapter 1, add some common sense, and you know enough science to understand that these clowns are lying. No, they are not simply deluded or wrong. They whore themselves for the money.
It is a combo of PHD welfare and the shakedown of industrialized countries by the third world countries.
