BTW, I love this because it puts the spoke in Jerry's usual contention that mainstream science somehow "suppresses" this sort of thing. PRL is as mainstream as it gets, arguably the premier physics journal in the world. Just goes to show that when results seem to disagree with theory, even at a tiny level, scientists show interest.

Of course Jerry will probably say that we're finally "waking up" to this and that the revolution that will overthrow everything from Archimedes to Weinberg and Hawking is imminent. Total garbage of course. Also note that the abstract mentions a quantitative prediction for another probe pass. Take note Jerry, that's how science is done.

P.S. Ketterle still has his Nobel.
You couldnt have posted this monday so I could get the article while I was up at school yesterday

By the way, how many of us close minded, orthodoxy fanatic mainstreamers here at BAUT are kinda interested in this?
