Title: Gravitational Waves
Post by: Mince on February 11, 2016, 06:13:32 PM
Yes, gravitational waves have been found by scientists at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory almost 100 years after Albert Einstein lost them. I presume they'll give them to his grandchildren or something.

I saw that on the news tonight. I can explain it to you all later.

In true scientific style, they have combined the names and shortened them...they will now be called "graves".

Einstein certainly got their existence correct. He's in one.

I am pretty sure people will look back at my wise words one day, perhaps 100 years after I said them too, and they will mention that I was right. What a grand day that will be.  :)
