Dr. Randell L. Mills claims he developed a mathematical formulation using fundamental laws of physics to arrive at a closed form solution for the hydrogen atom which predicts allowed stable energy states (n = 1, 1/2, 1/3,...), as well as the excited integer states (n = 2, 3, 4,...).
Claims such as this abound in modern physics and science in general. We have seen leaps of science taken for our move from classical to quantum physics. Do we need to look outside our traditional thinking to find answers to remaining questions regarding Astro-Physics? Do our resources (both computational and analytical) allow us to make leaps of science, or are we in a situation where all leaps of science are seen as improbable? Does our own skepticism limit our ability to perform science?

Read the news sometime - they split on PowerPC last week. Duh.
Actually they split last June, but maintained a limited partnership until their latest single silicone solution was completed.
