Euro-nerds claim Einstein off by a million trillion

A consortium of European physicists have measured the gravitational equivalent of a magnetic field for the first time in a laboratory and found that Einstein was off by a factor of a million trillion with his so-called Theory of Relativity.

We ran more than 250 experiments, improved the facility over 3 years and discussed the validity of the results for 8 months before making this announcement. Now we are confident about the measurement," says (Martin) Tajmar, who performed the experiments and hopes that other physicists will conduct their own versions of the experiment in order to verify the findings and rule out a facility induced effect.

Man, it takes a LOT of balls to call out the effing KING of physics like that. BTW, I took two years of high school physics and two semesters of college physics and I have no idea what's going on. Big Daddy, explanation please? (link via robotwisdom.com)

It's got something to do with getting closer to the link between gravity and electromagnetism (which remains elusive). Otherwise, I have no idea what they're talking about.
