A very predictable silence.
If predictions have been made as to the chemistry from analysis of
spectroscopic data treated via Einstein, and it turns out to be way off
base, BIG problems for astronomers as to what OTHER mistaken notions
they may have as to the composition of cosmic entities.
A chance here to put analytical spectroscopy to the test.
