These people deserve to be bashed. The next thing they'll say would contradict another established scientific theory and then they would ask to include it in curriculum.
There's nothing "sharp" about these people. If they were sharp they'd be spending their free time solving hard problems (which include cancer, aids, Alzheimer's) rather than maintaining an imaginary clock. Absolute nonsense, these "scientist" should be ashamed of themselves and in my mind they've already lost all credibility.
Is it just me, or does "scientific overreach" sound like a terrible euphemism?
If the same people were on late-night TV peddling this, I doubt we'd be calling it "overreach".
For those of us who truly love science, it's important to treat these things exactly the same, whether it's a newspaper article, TED talk, or "Incredible Mysteries" TV show. Being mealy-mouthed isn't doing anybody any favors.
I think one of the comments of the linked article made the best point, his science teacher should have caught the mistake.
Education and journalism FAIL...
