I still believe my physics is right - though I should have specified general relativity. But I'm no expert. In any case, my point is still valid: scientific "knowledge" is subject to change without notice. Science searches for "the best" explanation for a given set of facts, not the only one. To some degree, "best" is a matter of taste. Creation science is a good example of going to extreme lengths to fit facts to a theory. The "Flat Earth Society" is an even easier target. But science will never "prove" either of them wrong; that's not what science does. --Charlie Kaufman charlie@cca ...decvax!cca!charlie
