Evolving Electromagnetism?

nugget writes "An article in the Sydney Morning Herald announced that scientists led by a team of NSW University astrophysicists in Australia have found evidence that one of the fundamental forces of physics, electromagnetism, has changed since the universe's creation some 14 billion years ago. This may prove what many scientists have suspected for some time. Electromagnetism may be relatively new and might have evolved sometime after the laws of physics started with the big bang. If it's correct, this is big news."

If you ever ask a highly recognisable person for their view on a certian subject, most would lie just to keep their reputation....

Of course... it's all a conspiracy...

The scientists are anonymous... their answers aren't published, only the aggregate results... so what would they gain from lying exactly? Do you think the 8% or so who professed belief in a god have lost their jobs or something?

Sometimes other people's criticial thinking skills make me wonder about the current state of education today...
