An excerpt, with no spoiler...
"...At the end Dr. Shenker invoked his executive privileges. He asked the audience members for a vote on whether, by the year 3000, say, the value of the cosmological constant would be explained by the anthropic principle or by fundamental physics...."

The article links to some info about the LHC 0lympics. Which is a site which shows researchers the type of data they'll have to sift through.

I'm not the LHC Alex. Just a number cruncher like everyone else here.

Scientists will eventually figure out that the 'ether' of space has varying densities throughout the universe causing the differences in the speed of light. It is the obsorbtion of this energy at the subatomic level that causes gravity and that Einstein was right but for the wrong reason. In all of his works if you replace the term "Gravity Well" with the term "lower barametric pressure of dark energy (or the 'ether' of space) everything will be happy.

Glad to see your time machine is working. ;)

You laugh now, but just you wait. 20-30 years ago when they finally figure it out can think back to this post and say to yourself "That John Baker really was right" LOL! Einstein himself predicted that the speed of light differs by a minute amount at ground level and 1000 ft up in the air. But since we have no way to measure the speed of light out to 13 decimal positions it can not be proven easily. This is due to the lower barimetric pressure of space closer to large masses. IMHO ;-)

(Or I might be all wet but it seems to make perfect sense to me)
