You realize this is all a prank right?

Here is the URL to the page.
http://individual.utoronto.ca/News_1/Key134/Theory_Relativity_Breakthrough.htm

Here is the supposed CNN article:

Anthony Key found conclusive proof that this theory is false because Einstein actually forgot to carry a two while dividing; likely, Key hypothesizes, because Albert was too busy listening to Dream Theatre, or, as Key calls them, "the worst musical group to ever walk or breathe."

Here is an article saying it is a prank:

Apparently it was all setup to dupe this one guy - Craig Woudsma.

Pretty good though, they went to alot of work.
