Since Albert Einstein first predicted their existence a century ago, physicists have been on the hunt for gravitational waves, ripples in the fabric of spacetime. That hunt is now over. Gravitational waves exist, and we’ve found them.

    Mind blowing, really. A black hole collision that happened 1.3 billion years ago and we can detect it from here. The energy it sent out is STILL moving through space. That's so crazy to me, it's such an incomprehensible distance and amount of time.

    Yes and try to wrap your head around time and space bending back around itself so you can see the future and past at the same time! My head just exploded again and I just stepped on a LEGO from 1966. Crazy man just crazy!

    My dad was jewish, I was lifting from a jewish songwriter, singer, performer, musician named Kinky Friedman who had a song called "They dont make jews like jesus anymore"

    Probably should have mentioned that in my first post, i guess the older you get the less topical your references become, I apologize for any offense.

    I assumed it had to be self-referential, but was not privy to the actual reference you provide. Good stuff!
