<< SilkRoad's main claim is that chairman and chief technical officer James Palmer has solved several esoteric physics equations collectively known as Maxwell's equations (after Scottish physicist James Maxwell, who posed them in the mid-19th century). They concern the relationship between space, time and bits of light, which are called photons. Up until now, scientists haven't solved these equations. >> ??? Those crazy scientists... founding the industries of radar and optics using maxwell's equations, pretending to teach the equations to graduate and undergraduate students, all without SOLUTIONS... astounding. I don't know what palmer has solved, but maxwell's equations have been solved every day since the days of Hertz, a hundred years ago. If he's talking about maxwell+quantum, then Feynman was the first (ok, add Schwinger and others) back in the 1950s. JP
