I for one don't see anything wrong with the statement. As of now we can't create EITHER but rewriting ONE law of physics is worse than eating one peanut, to quote Larry Niven. Einstein was a great theorist, while I am not, but creating BOTH or NEITHER is believable. Sincerely; Greg Hennessy ..ucbvax!unmvax!nmtvax!hennessy ..ucbvax!unmvax!nmtvax!student
