huh huh, Cash said shrinkage.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So, Physics people, I was reading about gravity (which, as we know, is a harsh mistress). Because from what little science I understood on the subject, it seemed that gravity itself was still rather mysterious. Which lead me to Lorentz transformations and off to alternatives to General Relativity and discovered:
By the 1980s, the increasing accuracy of experimental tests had all led to confirmation of General Relativity (GR), no competitors were left except for those that included GR as a special case. Further, shortly after that, theorists switched to string theory which was starting to look promising, but has since lost popularity. In the mid 1980s a few experiments were suggesting that gravity was being modified by the addition of a fifth force (or, in one case, of a fifth, sixth and seventh force) acting on the scale of meters. Subsequent experiments eliminated these.
In short, Einstein works, bitches!
Also, string theory is right out.
That's gotta be a bitch if you staked your physics career on string theory twenty years ago.

What will Dr. Sam Beckett do? He'll never make it home now, if string theory doesn't work!

What will Dr. Sam Beckett do?
He'll get a beagle and a space ship.

Quiz Time: Name the Four Fundamental Interactions (or forces).
It's funny how much physics looks like principles of Buddhism.
You could probably do a Physics or Buddhism quiz that looked a lot like the old Gay or Eurotrash quiz.

Strong, Weak, Gravity, and....uh...Electromagnetic?
Edit; WOOT! Go seriously old science major!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Anyone see Stewart tonight?

Trudy, no, but I will later today...
