I disagree. I view him as a total phony.

> I view him as a total phony.<

A phony is either wrong about everything, or has stolen what he is right about. Neither of these conditions apply to Einstein.

Oh.....wait a minute. I think you've just funnin' with us (again).

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

Well it’s only 4200 light years away. Piece of cake.

I jest of course. This is, to me, a mind boggling accomplishment. Kudos to these guys and gals.

Dang...They beat me to it...Since obunghole left office, I have been going to propose them dropping obunghole (a feather with ears), moochie (an enormously dense coal-based object), and hitlary (a very dense gelatinous object) off one of those middle east skyscrapers to demonstrate the same thing...

Gravity is no friend of 70/80/90 year old Seniors.

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

You are correct of course. The accuracy that was quoted must be simply the total error in the full system measurement.

But, IMHO, still an amazing accomplishment.

It still sounds impossible. If they can really do it, more power to them.

I’ve not known you to be speechless before!

(No, I do not have those implants. I’d fall over. I’d need a walker.)

It would be much more impressive and practical if they could use this knowledge to really help people on earth. A few examples: stop tornadoes from forming, or accurately predict the exact path a hurricane will take (far enough in advance to be helpful), or cease all media coverage of Hillary Clinton and Maxine Waters.

Ha. You’re just trying to fool me, as you head off to your, ahem, dancing job.
