   The New Scientist  is =NOT= a peer-reviewed scientific journal --- it is a   
   media-owned "popular science" tabloid. It is written and edited by JOURNALISTS,   
   not scientists --- and journalists, even "science journalists," frequenctly   
   do not know squat about science.   
      
   Likewise for how Gold's paper got into arXiv:  arXiv is =NOT= peer-reviewed;   
   ANYONE can deposit a paper into it, and some of what gets dumped into it is   
   utter crap written by giant raving looney crackpots.
