Indeed, Yuri. In the early 1900s, when an Austrian patent office clerk and amateur physicist theorized that photons (which have zero-mass and travel at the speed of light) were bent by gravity-waves, many recognized experts said it can't be and laughed. Decades later, someone measured the time-interval of light from a more distant star passing behind a massive star and re-emerging. The photon / gravity-wave theory was correct.

When measurements don't fit in with everything we already know, real scientists and engineers are trained to ask themselves:


"Is this something really new - am I really another Einstein? Or did I simply get it wrong?"
