SOMETHING BIG IS GONNA BE ANNOUNCED MONDAY.......
- Thread starter Mack_Daddy
- Start date
First hand video of Harvey W. in his swimming and diving rehab classes. The waves and particles to be discovered will exceed Hadron Collider results.
Harvey is gassing up the jet for Romania as we speak. We're not going to see Uncle Harvey in the good ole US of A for a long, long LONG time.
He gone.
BWI announces that any user name that contains Mack, God or hu will be forever banned.
He is correct. Something big will be announced regarding new developments in gravitational-wave astronomy. At 7am PDT, the NSF, LIGO, and 70 other observatories will be at the National Press Club to reveal new details.
I work at Caltech and since we are intimately involved (LIGO developed here with newly Nobel Prize awarded Kip Thorne), there is a viewing event scheduled here as well as a reception afterwards.
When the first gravitational wave announcement happened ~18 months ago, my wife (also works at Caltech) and I had heard inklings about it weeks ahead of the announcement but this one has been kept a little more closer to the vest.

Life found on another planet? Oh wait, life found on this planet? Nah, can't be.
Yes. The announcement is forthcoming and they will call it the "Echo and Narcissus Effect."

Yes. Yes he was.
Dear Mr Gutkind,
Inspired by Brouwer's repeated suggestion, I read a great deal in your book, and thank you very much for lending it to me. What struck me was this: with regard to the factual attitude to life and to the human community we have a great deal in common. Your personal ideal with its striving for freedom from ego-oriented desires, for making life beautiful and noble, with an emphasis on the purely human element. This unites us as having an "unAmerican attitude."
Still, without Brouwer's suggestion I would never have gotten myself to engage intensively with your book because it is written in a language inaccessible to me. The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weakness, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still purely primitive, legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation, no matter how subtle, can change this for me. For me the Jewish religion like all other religions is an incarnation of the most childish superstition. And the Jewish people to whom I gladly belong, and whose thinking I have a deep affinity for, have no different quality for me than all other people. As far as my experience goes, they are also no better than other human groups, although they are protected from the worst cancers by a lack of power. Otherwise I cannot see anything "chosen" about them.
In general I find it painful that you claim a privileged position and try to defend it by two walls of pride, an external one as a man and an internal one as a Jew. As a man you claim, so to speak, a dispensation from causality otherwise accepted, as a Jew the privilege of monotheism. But a limited causality is no longer a causality at all, as our wonderful Spinoza recognized with all incision, probably as the first one. And the animistic interpretations of the religions of nature are in principle not annulled by monopolization. With such walls we can only attain a certain self-deception, but our moral efforts are not furthered by them. On the contrary.
Now that I have quite openly stated our differences in intellectual convictions it is still clear to me that we are quite close to each other in essential things, i.e; in our evaluations of human behavior. What separates us are only intellectual "props" and "rationalization" in Freud's language. Therefore I think that we would understand each other quite well if we talked about concrete things.
With friendly thanks and best wishes,
Yours,
A. Einstein
