Erdős problem 464

Let A={n1<n2<⋯ }⊂NA=\{n_1<n_2<\cdots\}\subset \mathbb{N} be a lacunary sequence (so there exists some ϵ>0\epsilon>0 with nk+1≥(1+ϵ)nkn_{k+1}\geq (1+\epsilon)n_k for all kk). Must there exist an irrational θ\theta such that {∥θnk∥:k≥1}\{ \|\theta n_k\| : k\geq 1\} is not dense in [0,1][0,1] (where ∥x∥\| x\| is the distance to the nearest integer)?
