I'm pretty skeptical about this. It's short and contains very little information. Something about the tone seems insincere. The comments are largely anti-science, anti-Hawking, and religion-based. Still, it was on the Yahoo front page when I signed on, and a proper skeptic reserves judgement until she has facts.
Being the layman I am, I figured I'd ask the experts on here. Any merit to this?

Mersini-Houghton looked at two leading theories of the universe, Einstein's theory of gravity and a fundamental law of quantum theory. The theories appear to contradict each other — the quantum theory law says that "no information from the universe can ever disappear," while Einstein's theory "predicts the formation of black holes." But Mersini-Houghton has merged what was known as the "information law paradox," and her findings will make scientists "reimagine the fabric of space-time" and "rethink the origins of the universe," according to the university. "I'm still not over the shock," Mersini-Houghton said in the statement. "We've been studying this problem for more than 50 years, and this solution gives us a lot to think about." |
