| Quote (Lou FCD @ May 15 2008,16:40) | From looking around though, the earliest references to it seem to date all the way back to 2000, and it seems to have just been re-circulated or something. Each time someone talks about it, they talk about it having just been or about to be published in Nature, yet I can't find it there.
I'm beginning to think it might be an internet meme, though there may actually be a physics researcher by that name (everything at Nature is behind a frickin' pay wall - ya' can't even tell). If it's an internet hoax, it's sucked in an awful lot of people though, including Space.com, the AP, and CNN. |
No no, it looks real enough to me. Her presence on the Harvard internet links up fine with the school she works in etc etc.
Remember academic stuff goes on for years, and it can take years to tease interesting things out using experiments. It deosn't look like a hoax to me.
