That Mythbusters clip was something that I had privately been wishing for. The one I imagine is one where the MBs get flu vaccinations and then find out that their bodies produce antibodies that prevent infection. And then at the end they blow up Jenny McCarthy.

Of course, that general relativity thing is based solely on an ArXiv submission, so it should be treated with extreme skepticism until some real peer-review process has been applied.

I noticed that too, Luke, but as Sean said — this isn’t a random, it’s a reasonably well respected cosmologist. If I had to bet, I’d go with Einstein too…but I’m willing to say that unless something blindingly obvious has been overlooked with this, we’ll learn something. Whether it’s about our universe, our about our instrumentation, I’m not sure…
