Bending Spacetime in the Basement

On: The Most Beautiful Experiments in Physics

"The time has come," the Hacker said,
"To talk of many things:
Of plastic foam--and tuna cans--
Of chunks of lead--and string--
And how the force of gravity--
Will make the balance swing."

The above is from John Walker's excellent website. He conducted the Cavendish experiment in his basement.
