That used to be a huge cottage industry back in, I think, the 50s and 60s - everyone with half a theory was sure they could explain where Albert had slipped up. (One of them was even immortalised in the works of James Blish, I think it was the Haertel overdrive, which embarrassingly turned out to not "swallow Einstein whole" as Blish said in one of his novels after all, although it was a handy SF device even so.) I must admit I thought we'd moved on, now, to a new fad -- the "Prove Global Warming Wrong!" cottage industry. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
