And I like many of the things he said
*God may be subtle, but he isn't plain mean.
*If A equals success, then the formula is: A = X + Y + Z, X is work. Y is play. Z is keep your mouth shut.
*Any fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius-and a lot of courage-to move in the opposite direction.
And of course E=MC2 /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Happy Birthday Albert

It is interesting to note that a Physicist in England seems to have evidence that the speed of light varies a little. He was suggesting that the variation is occurring at the 5th digit, and is actually faster than the 186000 miles/second established as a constant.

This "discovery" is supposed to help resolve Einstein's efforts on the universal theory.

He also mentioned that this "discovery" has little or no practical influence. I guess this means that it will not effect our flashlight use... and I was looking forward to a flashlight with a beam of light traveling at 1860025 miles/second.
