I don't reckon he was wrong just something that he had not yet discovered, back in the early 1900's they didn't have particle accelerators to play with ------------- "The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever." - Jacques Cousteau |

I too have tried to confirm this but I keep on blinking just as I was about to push the stopwatch so I cant get it accurate enough I enjoy this type of thing although I understand very little of it, the maths involved and what it means to look into the night sky and realise that the light you viewing may well have been emitted by a sun that died thousands (and even hundreds of thousands)of years ago |

| It will be interesting to see how this progresses over the next few years, especially if another group can get the same results. Certainly good reading. |
