What would the mass of these black holes be? And how the hell could they suck anything in? To make gravity actually have an effect on surrounding objects they would need to be throwing a large proportion of the Earth into CERN to make them, which i doubt they are doing. So unfortunately no sucking i'd think. Sorry for those who thought CERN was creating a new kind of sex machine.
I'm not that knowledgable in this area, but isn't it the sharpness of the pulse that causes this effect, and the phemomena associated with transmitting a sharp pulse that means information can't be sent faster than the speed of light in the process? Like is there something new I missed here when he says he is going to make the pulse less sharp and see if it does what we all know it will do?
Agree with the first comment posted, but think it's the person reporting the articles fault not Cowboys, he only summarised it for us.
Yeh, is a little crazy. Was trying to decide how relativity can be explained by clock "just slowing down for some reason". And he bags scientists proving things with maths then does it himself while completely neglecting the physical ramifications of what he is saying. I thought relativity was hard to get your mind around at first, but the number of alterations they will have to make to reality to get this one to work... I think he might get his minute of glory with the non-science folk. Make a few people feel smarter for a little while. Though I do agree string theorists are a waste of space and belong in maths not physics. He was right that physics is a science of observation and we should deduce new theories when we see evidence for them. But at some stage the stuff may become useful, though like a lot of this stuff (ie. quantum computers) there is a lot of hype screening the fact that the ideas may never become viable. Still yesterdays dream is tomorrows reality, and the less conservative idiots like the one who wrote this around to kill the dreamers, the better.

Why the hell would you want to patent a million digit prime? :)
