Surely there must be somebody who wants to consider serious >criticism? (or at least condemn it as nonsense -with reasons). How do you criticize an experiment without the details of what they may have done wrong? There's also been a massive silence regarding the Japanese inverted gyroscope experiment--published in PRL even!--for exactly the same reason. I'm reminded of Feynman's story about not responding to a skilled experimentalist coming up with something that contradicted a Feynman calculation: his attitude was the experimentalist would figure out what he did wrong with his equipment much much faster than Feynman could, and he was right. As for what you've seen before on USENET, most of it is canned responses to well-known errors. -- -Matthew P Wiener (weemba@sagi.wistar.upenn.edu)
