Goodness me! A novel way to raise the roof if there ever was one! How confident do others within the vortex readership feel about the latest findings? I know for me when I first read "...just 100 millionths of the acceleration due to the Earth's gravitational field," well... that seemed like such a teensy weensy effect. Of course, the first thing that came to my mind was: Experimental error. OTOH, I'm sure these guys are no dummies and did their best to account for this possibility. So, what do others have to say on the accuracy of these intriguing findings? Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
