I like how the GPS tech leveraged on Einstein's relativity theory to be more accurate. Who would've thought that Einstein has a hand in a more accurate GPS. But even though he never got to use one, we have him to thank for our accurate navigation.
The Snowball Snow Globe looks like a great toy to add to the general relativity topic. Though I think the flat earth peeps may be pissed to see the toy is round :)
In 1917, no one ever expected Einstein could help navigating 100 years later! This is why fundamental research must be funded! Who knows what crazy applications may rise a few tens of years later... :D
As said in another comment, I hesitated linking directly the flat earth stuff... But this would have given them too much unnecessary attention...
Geniuses are helping us get things done long after they've gone. About the flat earth, it still beats me how people believe that. But what am I even saying, some believe Dave Chappelle the comedian is a clone. They say the real one died many years ago :)
Errh... I don't know who Dave Chappelle is :D
Dave Chappelle is just a comedian, a good one at that.
Ahah Con Air and Mel Brook's RobinHood. I have seen these two when I was much younger. But I didn't know at all that a guy named Dave Chappelle was playing in there :)
I learned something! Thanks :D
