Graviational Wave discovery

I'm sure when the story of AGB saying "Mr. Watson, come here...." hit the press, folks were like, "that's nice! How's it gonna help me? Just another rich man's toy." But, 140 years later, look where we're at!

Still ain't gonna get your Prius to P65 today though.....

no kidding. That's where I got the quote.

Well, you apparently missed Vint Cerf's response. As the guy who invented TCP (yes, really invented), he's widely considered an authority in the field.

I notice you left out part of the quote.

Even Snopes admits Gore's phrasing was self serving.

That is what politicians do, isn't it?

Hmm... is anyone able to bring up that Snopes page today? I keep getting redirection loop errors, after trying twice several hours apart.

It worked for me just now.

Thanks. I'm not sure what is going on then. I've tried it in three browsers, making sure cookies are accepted. My ISP (a local Mom & Pop operation) is notorious for having configuration issues from time to time, but I'm at a loss how they could be responsible for this unless their DNS record for snopes was just wrong... which is hard to fathom being an isolated problem. But all other sites I've tried work just fine.

Then I'd expect red flags to be raised all the time, where are they?

I wonder what happens when someone invents a wave guide that can focus or redirect gravitational waves?

We need to figure out how to ride 'em!
