Posted by samzenpus on from the I-bet-the-light-bulbs-still-work dept.

mikey_man380 writes "Reuters reports that some original Edison light bulbs and extremely important scientific documents will be auctioned off in the UK. The box of original light bulbs used in court by Edison to defend his patent rights will be up for auction in the United Kingdom. Other important historical items to be included in the auction are Albert Einstein's first scientific essay, a first edition of Charles Darwin's "On the Origin of Species" and an alchemical manuscript by Isaac Newton."

    More important than hundred year old dusty lightbulbs, Lynne's Sci Fi News has decided to go off the air...
