Dead? No way. The action in this part of the forum is alive and kicking vigorously.

This is by far the most activity seen since the turkey timer was invoked; I think it was triggered by more queer observations near Saturn, Mercury, and in navigational data from near Earth flybys; and two big NULLs: No gravitational waves down to new sensitivites, and no WIMPs - no Weakiy Interactvie Dark Matter Particles down to constrants that make galaxy behavior even more difficult to explain. By the rules of the board, there are a LOT of threads that could be reopened on the bases of new evidence.
One question for moderators is: the new Mercury gravity anomaly data came in while this thread was in progress: should the turkey timer be automatically reset? Who decides; and how; when new evidence is new evidence? The first cut of LIGO science run 5 is in - do we have to wait until the scientific examination is exhaustive?
What a silly rule for a science board that has such a rich topic to explore!
