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?"
The question is simply: Is my HP-355 step-attenuator set intermittently
off by 3db?
