Einsteinians are given a $1.32 million dollar grant to say if Einstein is wrong: http://www.news.ucsb.edu/2013/013823/questioning-einstein University of California Santa Barbara: "Could Einstein's theory of relativity be wrong? That's among the burning questions being asked by theoretical physicists today. It's a startling claim and one that has received a lot of attention from other scientists. Researchers from UC Santa Barbara's Department of Physics and the Kavli Institute for Theretical Physics (KITP) have received a $1.32 million dollar grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to continue their work on finding an answer." Mark Srednicki and Joseph Polchinski found the joke really amusing, took the money and said that Einstein was not wrong: http://www.news.ucsb.edu/sites/www.news.ucsb.edu/files/styles/article_horizontal/public/images/2013/Srednicki%20and%20Polchinski.jpg Pentcho Valev
