I was talking to Albert awhile back,
you know,
Albert Einstein.
About a hundred years ago I was talking to him about his theories
and he starts telling me,
"We will not only use telescopes to do astronomy, by seeing beautiful close-ups of the Planets and our Moon, but we'll see the Milky Way in a whole new light. In the future we'll finally understand Star formation, how our Solar System was born, and we'll discover and prove my theory on Black Holes."
So I say to him,
"Come on Al, aren't you stretching things a bit about your Black Hole theory?"
So Al,
who is part of my posse says to me,
“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”
If I didn't know any better,
I would have thought that I just got insulted.
I think?
Well,
my
Good Old Homie
was proven right once again last
September 14th, 2015.
It took Scientist,
who released their findings a couple of days ago,
that long to sift through all the data to prove there are
Gravitational Waves.
They did it with
LIGO.
You know,
The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatories.
The headlines read,
"A scientific milestone was achieved using a pair of giant laser detectors in the United States, located in Louisiana and Washington State, capping a decades-long quest to find these waves." Story by Will Dunham and Scott Malone for Reuters.
I know,
these guys are cheating!
My man Einstein used chalk
and a blackboard for his findings.
These
LIGO
people are using lasers
and got their money from,
"an independent agency of the United States government, who provided about $1.1 billion in funding for the research over the past 40 years."
But I must say,
I always wanted one of those laser pointy sticks for myself!
I would use it to set up my wobbly telescope,
pointing to the Moon.
This is,

Jim Hauenstein,
And,
“If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, of what, then, is an empty desk a sign of?”
That's my story and I'm sticking to it because it's all true!
