ahahaha... AHAHAHA.... ahahaha... So, these Stanford and
NASA guys have taken a page out of Al Schwartz's book who
said on 03-Sept-05: ".....Einstein is demonstrably incorrect.
Definitive answer in about two weeks" ... while they with their
much larger, more sluggish operation say: " ... won't know
for another 15 months"..... ohhh... hmmmm.... uhhh... eeeh...
The name of this game seems to be really much more about
Time then about gravitation or the EP via chiral matters.
BUT,
now and positively, it has been demonstrated by "empirical"
fact that something is not really "even handed" here...
Thanks for the laughs, guys.... ahahahahaha... ahahaha...
