When I see me a graviton then I'll believe in gravity.

Until then I'll keep wearing my sticky boots.

Yes, sorry. I should’ve explained. Those seven paragraphs were similar to seven comments I got on just one cosmology thread I posted recently. A person can’t post anything about science around here without attracting the science-hating knuckleheads. So, I thought if I distilled the essence of what they usually say and put it in one comment, they’d be satified and go away.

I have to disagree there. His accomplishment is ever bit as significant and astonishing as Einstein. Newton is in a class by himself all alone.

Good one! Oh, wait a minute...you’re being facetious, you scamp you. Making fun of Hillary’s behind. Next thing you know, you’ll be standing around that nuclear reactor telling naughty jokes and wearing a lampshade on your head.

So, I thought if I distilled the essence...

Essence? Like you've ever seen an essence much less distilled one. What rot. ;-)

The interesting thing about distilling the essence of what they usually say is that it's a lot like playing around with fractals.

What these folks usually say is a bunch of bloated flapdoodle and non sequiturs, right? Then as you zoom in and look at it at smaller and smaller scales, trying to get to the essence of it, you find it's bloated flapdoodle and non sequiturs all the way down. Fascinating.

Technically Maxwell’s Equations in vacuum, but I digress... :)

Nice GIF — I’ll have to swipe it!

Yeah, but can it clean out a nuclear reactor?
