Latest Tajmar Paper with NZ reference:

Now, the probe:

" On February 9, 2007 it was announced that a number of unexpected signals had been received and that these would need to be separated out before final results could be released. Consequently, the date for the final release of data has been pushed back from April 2007 to December 2007.

Speculation on some internet sites, such as PhysicsForums.org, has centered around the source and nature of these anomalous signals. Several posters and alternative theorists (some skeptical of GPB and its methodology) have indicated that understanding these signals may be more interesting than the original goal of testing GR. "

Where in these forums was this speculation going on?
Anyone know?

Since it seems the anomalous data may confirm Tajmar et al., even better than the Canterbury results, this is of great interest here.
