Took over a century to nail it down for sure, but one of the
slickest-looking little formulas and theories of all time:
E=MC˛
....has apparently been confirmed:
http://www.upi.com/Science_News/2008/11/21/Scientists_confrirm_Einsteins_emc2/UPI-33361227327663/
God, what a wonderful dream to have seen his face when he first realized
that after all that hard work it could all be expressed in such a simple
and all-encompassing mathematical formula as that.
That is one of the greatest and most profound moments in the entire
history of the species known as Homo Sapiens.

....Funny. I thought it was confirmed at least three times in 1945,
twice over Japan.

"Shriek"?[/quote]
That Thunderbird update from a few days ago needs some work in its
spelling program.
It never did work as well as the old Netscape/Mozilla one that actually
listed alternative words by the letter they started with.
What the present one works with regarding spelling logic is completely
beyond me.

Okay, so he did botch it in regards to the total number of dimensions,
and why his "cosmological constant" was working without realizing the
Big Bang had occurred.
But I>ll tell you one thing though, mate...you handed him a chunk of

himself right out of the cage of standard physics with one hell of a

Yeah, seriously, not quite sure what they "proved" here. It>s been proved
numerous times.
I suspect they mean it was "proven" in a purely mathematical derivation.
But that>s not exactly clear.
