VILNIUS -- A Lithuanian man is repeating an attempt to contest the authorship ofa physics law, which enabled American scientists to win the 2004 Nobel prize forphysics.
The efforts of Edmundas Gedvilas, a 71-year-old pensioner from Taurage, have so far beenfruitless.
He has filed a suit with a Vilnius court, asking to determine theauthorship of a physics law that he allegedly discovered and consequently to annulthe Nobel prize awarded to US scientists for their discovery in 2004. He isalso demanding compensation of damages he estimated at 1 million US dollars.
In November 2007, the court refused to accept the claim, saying itwas not within its jurisdiction.
Gedvilas appealed against the court ruling at the Appeals Court, indicatingthat he had sent a suit to Sweden in mid-2007 but received no reply. Swedishcourts 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 doubtfulabout the possibility that the Taurage man could be the author of the complex theory.
