Evidence for Correlations Between Nuclear Decay Rates and Earth-Sun Distance

I wonder if it is related to: "Evidence for Correlations Between Nuclear Decay Rates and Earth-Sun Distance" http://arxiv.org/abs/0808.3283

Fischbach's page, with citations of (but not links to) the original research: http://www.physics.purdue.edu/people/faculty/ephraim.shtml A preprint: http://arxiv.org/abs/0808.3283 Why do publications refuse to post links to (or at least citations of) the original scientific articles? I mean, these links are the result of five minutes of googling; which means the reporter communicated with the authors themselves but didn't bother to ask for a hyperlink or an emailed citation. The mind boggles.

Unexplained periodic fluctuations in the decay rates of Si-32 and Ra-226 have been reported by groups at Brookhaven National Laboratory (Si-32), and at the Physikalisch-Technische-Bundesandstalt in Germany (Ra-226). We show from an analysis of the raw data in these experiments that the observed fluctuations are strongly correlated in time, not only with each other, but also with the distance between the Earth and the Sun. Some implications of these results are also discussed, including the suggestion that discrepancies in published half-life determinations for these and other nuclides may be attributable in part to differences in solar activity during the course of the various experiments, or to seasonal variations in fundamental constants. From the original paper: http://arxiv.org/abs/0808.3283 What the above means: that the fabric of reality changes in relation to the distance from a large mass or a large source of neutrins.
