For an Italian inheriting the legacy of Galileo Galilei, you sure approach Science from an odd angle. "suspicious about the truth" is good, scientific behaviour. "clearly evident" is not. And "accepting the virtual information that someone else feed us" becomes a non-sequitur. Question, question, question. If you don't, then you start to pick winners without sound scientific grounds. The masses do that and here in South Africa it is pretty obvious what the consequences are. Lucio. PS: Hardly worth worrying about. This is likely to happen after our 64-bit clocks have run out of nanoseconds.
