Always--I say *always*--bet on Big Al and give the points
"Mystery Tug on Spacecraft Is Einstein’s ‘I Told You So’".
It’s been a bad year to bet against Albert Einstein.
In the spring physicists had to withdraw a sensational report that the subatomic particles known as neutrinos were going faster than light, Einstein’s cosmic speed limit; they discovered they had plugged in a cable wrong.
Now scientists from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory have reported that they have explained one of the great mysteries of the space age, one that loomed for 30 years as a threat to the credibility of Einsteinian gravity.
The money quote at the end of the article is: You may dream of freaky new physics, but sometimes freaky old physics is all you need.
You da man, Big Al. I'm no betting man, but if it's about GR, always give the points.
