about a scientific paper (http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/the-lay-scientist/2010/sep/24/1)



This is a news website article about a scientific paper

In the standfirst I will make a fairly obvious pun about the subject matter before posing an inane question I have no intention of really answering: is this an important scientific finding?


In this paragraph I will state the main claim that the research makes, making appropriate use of "scare quotes" to ensure that it's clear that I have no opinion about this research whatsoever.

In this paragraph I will briefly (because no paragraph should be more than one line) state which existing scientific ideas this new research "challenges".

If the research is about a potential cure, or a solution to a problem, this paragraph will describe how it will raise hopes for a group of sufferers or victims.

That is one whacked "scientific" paper.


In particular, we find that an observer-centric anisotropic synchrony convention eliminates the distant starlight problem by reducing radially inward-directed light travel-time in the reference frame of the observer to zero


people want to know they can trust what is published on the Internet

A classic. Try as the world may, you just can't beat creationists for pure comedy. Someday I halfway expect to hear that AiG was just a long-running Firesign Theater gag.

Or "Why does the Porridge Bird lay his eggs in the air?"
