Well...
I'm not sure. It sure as hell looks like one to my eye, it's the kind of thing researchers like to indulge in. But I'll pass on the bridge till I get my atomic physicist mate to take a look-see on my behalf thanks Legless.

It's obviously a pisstake
I dun got a PhD and I think it's been written for a giggle.

So have I!
But not in physics and i only read the first half page having corrections to do and stuff on a paper of my own... Perhaps i should go and have a more thorough browse.

Very little in the way of equations
Nothing to back up what's being said and the point that it on;y works if you don't actually observe it's effects screams they're having a laugh to me.
Oh, and mine's in High Energy Particle Physics.

Really, you don't need a PhD in physics to see that it's a parody.
You just have to read it. The laughter should be a hint.

Read it?
Are you mad?!!!
OK, yes I should have read it beofre commenting, but the abstract seemed a fair giveaway.
And mine's in vertebrate palaeontology so I'm not exactly very physics literate...

invertebrate paleontology?
That's virtually an arts degree.
*runs*
Edit: should learn to read and type. vertebrate palaeontology.

Oi!
I'm an arts and humanities type! Less of that!

Yes, quite.
I guessed that was coming from a physicist. Used to it. ;-)
Yes, there's lots of extrapolation, but there's also lots of hard data too. And I get to play with dinosaurs as a day job. Really.
