...turns out maybe he had some bad data. A team of astrophysicists, peering into deep space through the world?s largest single telescope on Mauna Kea in Hawaii, have found what they say are small variations in the "fine structure constant" - the physical constant on which all others, including Einstein?s own "c," (the speed of light) are built...
...South Wales in Sydney and his team have it right. The team was looking into deep space at the way gas clouds soak up light from quasars and found patterns of absorption that the team couldn?t explain in any other way but the most shocking: the "fine structure constant," also known as "alpha," may not be so constant after all.

But he was acutely aware of the opportunity he had squandered. "You'll do fine," he advised Patrick when his younger cousin arrived in the House in 1994. "Just...

Private art galleries disappear overnight, as do the famed paladares...
