Space elevator u say? wtf?? What kind of b***s*** is that? Lol man, you clearly know nothing about how scientific experiments are done and how progress is made. The first definite data about Higgs boson will be available only in 2013 and even if they dont find it they already made big breakthrough with LHC. Actually most scientist hope they dont find it as that will mean they have to fundamentally change the theory.
If this is true, it turns over all physics. Books, studies, research, poof, all years of study, wiped out.
$4 Bil doesn't even sound like a lot of waste anymore. Of course, assuming it existed, you could buy about 25 billion pounds of rice with that money.
This is possibly what is happening: http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/cosmicvariance/2005/10/25/lorentz-invariance-and-you/ The article, while technically accurate, is historically inaccurate. Einstein wasn't much of a mathematician, and in fact it was Lorenz Poncaire and Minkowski that set Relativity on the mathematical basis that we know it today. Much of Special Relativity is already in Maxwell. This is a wonderful article by one of the giants of 20th century mathematics: http://www.mathpages.com/rr/s8-08/8-08.htm

Lorenz transformation equations come after Einsteins special theory of relativity. hoodooman bs in physics and math.
That's what all the physicits said when Relativity came around...! This sort of thing happens from time to time but it is still a little to early to claim that the results will have that effect.
"...Consequently, Majorana and Dirac neutrinos would behave differently under CP transformations (actually Lorentz and CPT transformations). The distinction between Majorana and Dirac neutrinos is not only theoretical; a massive Dirac neutrino would have nonzero magnetic and electric dipole moments, which could be observed experimentally, whereas a Majorana neutrino would not...." That neutrinos may be Majorana, is pointing more and more to physics that is violated in CPT transformations http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sterile_neutrino
