Facinating, they are doing a blind test and will only get CfA data after the
analysis.
Sound like real true scientists to me. :-)
Nothing like proving yourself wrong again and again... hehe.
Makes one humble (well...).

Sure, of course.

On that subject, how do you think about that just published ESA experiment,
http://lanl.arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0603033
and their conclusions about the vacuum energy and Higgs and cosmological
constant:
http://lanl.arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0603032
Official announcement:
http://www.esa.int/esaCP/SEM0L6OVGJE_index_0.html
I have now read both papers, and in a way, these guys really DID test for 3
years,
I am sort of excited, but would like to hear your opinion as you know lots and
lost
more of that stuff then I do?
And this is directly related to this subject too.
