>This is starting to look like another case of super-smart over-specialized eggheads making assumptions and not seeing the big picture What a fucked way to spin this -- the group asked for outside help in explaining their results and finding any mistakes.

If these guys were humble researchers unsure of their results, perhaps RUNNING TO THE MEDIA AND SCREAMING ABOUT BREAKING THE LIGHT BARRIER should have been agenda item #8484 not #1. Seriously, if you're claiming you're doing FTL, asking for outside help isn't some noble act, its pretty much required. The idea that these guys are infallible and systemic errors never happen is incredibly naive. Christ, remind me never to get between nerds and their starship Enterprise fantasies.

  "RUNNING TO THE MEDIA AND SCREAMING ABOUT BREAKING THE LIGHT BARRIER" is an extremely unfair characterization of what they did. And the explanation being discussed has not been reviewed.
