Lab Tuned to Gravity's 'Ripples'
Krishna Dagli writes "One of the great scientific experiments of our age is now fully underway. Success would confirm fundamental physical theories and open a new window on the Universe, enabling scientists to probe the moment of creation itself. The experiment is trying to detect ripples created in the fabric of space-time that sweep out from merging black holes or exploding stars and detection would be a final test of Albert Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. "
In later tests, the scientists plan to add sour cream and cheddar to the ripples in an effort to test gravity's potential for inter-galactic tastiness!
No, seriously, he is. Anyone have any idea on how to get him out?
It's not offtopic, dumbass. It's orthogonal.
How cool it would be to fly like superman. :)

I really read that as gravity nipples. No, I don't know what a gravity nipple is.. maybe an inverse black hole or something. But by God, my lab would be tuned to them, that's for sure!

Intelligent falling. After all, gravity is just a theory.
GCHQ Quantum Insert installed. If only our tongues were made of glass, how much more careful we would be when we speak
... doesn't that rather pre-suppose two things?:
:P
1. The aforementioned Anti-gravity and
2. That you will become important enough to know a Baron?
Both, I would say, are equally improbably but 2 perhaps slightly more so
Love the idea though rofl
