Re: [asa] important physics result announced today (fwd)

As a theorist I particularly liked this:

It might appear that the observational data quoted in

the previous section suggest a value of pi that increases

with time, rather than decreasing as our model indicates.

Since our theoretical model is clearly correct, this must

be attributed to 4000 years of systematic errors.
