from the article:Holger Müller, a physicist at the University of
California, Berkeley, says that the study shows that relativity is no
longer confined to experiments working with huge speeds and distances.
"This is mainly a grand technological feat, but has an almost
philosophical component," he says. "It shows that relativity is
something tangible."
Hmm. I think that tvb's demo in the minivan was pretty impressive.....
