   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.
