Lies, Damned Lies, and Quantum Statistics 53
quax writes "Getting a scientific paper published that goes against the grain of conventional wisdom was never easy. Especially when it seems to contain an obvious glaring mistake. Fortunately despite already being some kind of pop celebrity with no shortage of fan mail, Einstein still opened letters he received from strangers. And this is how a trivial, fateful counting mistake was able to change the course of physics forever."

Dear theoretical physicists,
Admit that most of your fields have become a branch of overpriced mathematics and stop boring us with your tales of 100 years ago.

...due to a 500 internal server error and a useless summary that is written to bait and not inform, we won't learn what that mistake was and how it changed the course of physics forever.

Describing Einstein as the Lady Gaga of Science is probably why the article is now 403 forbidden.

not really sure why this is news
I blame it on relativistic time dilation ...
to an observer in travelling at Slashdot speed this appears to have just occurred, whilst to a stationary observer 87 years appear to have passed ...
this dilation seems to apply uniformly across most observed Slashdot articles (albiet with yet-to-be-explained time loops as well!)

Dunno.
Bad hair - check
Bushy eyebrows - check
Toneless whistling - check
Incomprehensible 'lyrics' - check
You have to admit, there are certain similarities.
I would not be surprised to learn that Lady Gaga smokes a pipe.
