Submission + - Einstein's twin paradox resolved
slashthedot writes: "An Indian American scientist Subhash Kak from Louisiana State University has resolved the 100+ years old Einstein's twin paradox.
"The fact that time slows down on moving objects has been documented and verified over the years through repeated experimentation. But, in the previous scenario, the paradox is that the earthbound twin is the one who would be considered to be in motion — in relation to the sibling — and therefore should be the one aging more slowly. Einstein and other scientists have attempted to resolve this problem before, but none of the formulas they presented proved satisfactory.
Kak's findings were published online in the International Journal of Theoretical Science, and will appear in the upcoming print version of the publication."
"The implications of this resolution will be widespread, generally enhancing the scientific community's comprehension of relativity. It may eventually even have some impact on quantum communications and computers, potentially making it possible to design more efficient and reliable communication systems for space applications."

Submission + - HD-DVD Processing Key Found!
Anonymous Coward writes: "The guys at Doom9 seem to have found a method to retrieve the HD-DVD processing key. All current HD-DVD (and possibly Blu-Ray) titles can now be decrypted using this key. If this key is revoked it is possible future processing keys can be found using this method."
