VILNIUS -- A Lithuanian man is repeating an attempt to contest the authorship of a physics law, which enabled American scientists to win the 2004 Nobel prize for physics.
The efforts of Edmundas Gedvilas, a 71-year-old pensioner from Taurage, have so far been fruitless.
He has filed a suit with a Vilnius court, asking to determine the authorship of a physics law that he allegedly discovered and consequently to annul the Nobel prize awarded to US scientists for their discovery in 2004. He is also demanding compensation of damages he estimated at 1 million US dollars.
In November 2007, the court refused to accept the claim, saying it was not within its jurisdiction.
Gedvilas appealed against the court ruling at the Appeals Court, indicating that he had sent a suit to Sweden in mid-2007 but received no reply. Swedish courts have also failed to respond to an earlier suit dated in the end of 2006.
In an interview to BNS, deputy director of the Physics Institute Algimantas Jundzenas was doubtful about the possibility that the Taurage man could be the author of the complex theory.
