I used to have an Einstein Ring, but I bought better detergent and my collars are clean now.

That is something to wrap your head around.

Now....this is more like it! A photo I can really appreciate. Reminds me of what I saw when that kid knocked me out.

Whenever I see one of these photos against the backdrop of today’s politics I remember Dickens’ “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times...”

Now, that is cool.
Visual proof that gravity bends light.

That is a serious amount of gravity.
And a new wallpaper for the P.C.
Thanks SC.

...To our fellow citizens
Who, for love of truth
Take from their own wants
By taxes and gifts,
And now and then send forth
One of themselves
As dedicated servant,
To forward the search
Into the mysterious and marvelous simplicities
Of this strange and beautiful Universe, Our home.

—Dedication to ¨Gravitation¨, Misner, Thorne and Wheeler (1973)
