Yet you insist on using percent difference when comparing what you predict to what is observed, rather than standard deviations which provide a clearer picture of the precision. Is it because you are dishonest, or simply don't understand simple error analysis?

Of course your entire point of view is formed off the fact that I've repeatedly made fun of your ideas and shoved your arrogant stupidity back in your face. I'm sure it is merely a /coincidence/ that you are unable to discuss my technical points, and instead snip everything wholesale then repeat the claim I had just discredited. If you don't like it, stop talking like you know better than the rest of modern science. You aren't. 30 years of fringe publications are evidence enough of that. > > RLO > www.amherst.edu/~rloldershaw

This is what the authors of the paper published in Nature say. If verified, it is a serious problem for QED. Get your information from the source. Put in some friggin effort! Not from imbeciles like EG. RLO www.amherst.edu/~rloldershaw P I T A P I T A P I T A P I T A P I T A P I T A P I T A Name calling subtracts from one's credibility. There are many here who esteem the thoughts of "EG". If you would like to earn a similar level of regard, then please stick to the facts and to your interpretations of those facts. Credibility is very tough to gain and extremely easy to lose in an eyeblink ! happy new days and... starry starry nights! -- Indelibly yours, Paine Ellsworth Lurker extraordinaire P.S.: "Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities.
