Several years ago, at a symposium for astrophysicists held in London, an
experiment was carried out. All the delegates were asked to calculate
how much energy it would take to bring one stationary electron from a
point in deep space ( but near a KNOWN stellar object) and bring it to
rest on the surface of the earth.
They would allow for mass and movement of all *major* solar objects but
not asteroids or deep space objects apart from the one mentioned above.
They were all *capable* of doing the sums and several of them did so.
The unamazing fact was that the *answers* that these scientists came up
with differed by as much as 13 orders of magnitude.
I don't believe you. Please provide a citation.
