Caught up in space-time after the discovery of “the chirp,”
the first bit of hard evidence that gravitational waves can be heard? http://nyp.st/1o2z3Mg. Then read about those “Ripples
on a Cosmic Sea,” a book by David Blair and Geoff McNamara http://bit.ly/21oG48D.
I cracked open this book a few years ago, but now … with the most definitive news yet that Einstein was right! … I’ve a whole new impetus to
a greater understanding of black holes, general theory of relativity, dark matter,
gravitational lenses, the curvature of space-time …
Read it with the stars overhead – on a beach during a winter
vacation, or as I have done, under the spell of full moon insomnia. It won’t
put you back to sleep, but, man, oh, man, what a cool way to keep in touch with the
wonders of the universe and the genius of theory.
