Einstein’s Theory of Gravity Passes Toughest Test to Date

I thought 500cc breast implants were his toughest test.

They had Michael Moore and Rosie O’Donnell hold hands and jump over a line of football players with linked arms to reach a full buffet table.

Gravity pulled them down onto the players and they tumbled against the table, spraying food and drink all over the assembled photographers.

Einstein was right.

Isn’t science fun?

when it’s not done this way, it’s not science.

Like all scientific theories, general relativity makes testable predictions.

The global warming crowd better not hear of this blasphemy.

And we can tell its location to within a few hundred meters.

This pulsar is 4,200 light-years away, and they can measure its position to within a few hundred meters???

I recently purchased a neodynum, however you spell it, magnet.

It is astonishing how something like that can exert such a force and continue to do so. It has such a strong attraction that it is difficult to pull off my car’s trunk, and that is with a rope attached to it.

I think they’re speaking of its position relative to the other stellar remnants in the system.

Except globull warming "science." Whether it's predictions are right or wrong it's still settled.

That sounds like... an astonishingly good idea.

Gravity researchers love to make outlandish claims they’ll never be called on for by grant funders.

He was way over rated. His joke that “time goes backwards at 186,000 miles per second” is a knee slapping joke. I really think he was just a blow hard with chutzpah and crazy hair.

And it’s even worse than that. No one is permitted to question this “settled science”. Try it, and your lectures will be picketed. You will receive death threats. Your career will be ruined.

Like all scientific theories, general relativity makes testable predictions..."equivalence principle"... astronaut David Scott dropped a feather and a hammer simultaneously; the two hit the gray lunar dirt at the same time.

Seems to me the author is a bit confused between general relativity and Newton's laws of mechanics.

Not really. He was just not right about everything. His Theory of Special Relativity (1905) is breathtaking in its beauty and its boldness. And that theory has passed every test that has been thrown at it.

The same goes for his dual nature (wave and particle) theory of light.

On the other hand, Einstein never quite accepted Quantum Mechanics. And that might be because he had no hand in it.

So over-rated? No. Egotistical and sometimes stubborn? You bet.
