"ArXiv.org founder Paul Ginsparg, a quantum physicist at Cornell University, in Ithaca, New York, who was not involved in the moderation in this case, adds that arXiv moderators are also now sensitive to the fact that the site is checked daily by the news media. This gives moderators another reason to avoid posting “manifestly outlandish” claims that might confuse the public, he says." Once again, ALL real breakthroughs are initially "manifestly outlandish". Hence nothing really valuable will ever get published. Consequently arXiv has now proven that it is worthless, as it apparently will only accept incremental "improvements". If this mental straight-jacket becomes the norm, then science has no future. Furthermore it is evidence of the fact that certain people are trying to ensure that "the public" shares their myopic view of reality. BTW, as I have said before, black holes are empty. All matter is converted to energy at or before the event horizon, and circulates as EM energy at the event horizon, warping spacetime into a circle. ;) Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/project.html
