Re: The results of the Gravity Probe B experiments: Einstein was right Isaac Send a noteboard - 07/05/2011 09:52:35 PM
Oh, I do find this exciting. Very much so. I was objecting to the annoying newfangled use of "epic".

Yeah, that is a bit excessive, I'm moderately indifferent and I'd say the feeling right now is "Oh, good, nice experiment" not "Wow! Behold!", nothing very epic, not at this stage anyway.

You misunderstand. I am objecting to that use of the word. The "wow, epic". If I did use that word like that, I would probably find it appropriate. But I get peevish about it.


Ah, gotcha ya

So cool. (And part of the "epic" is that it took 47 years to finish) beetnemesis - 07/05/2011 04:36:41 PM 518 Views
That would make the experiment epic, not the result Camilla - 07/05/2011 04:38:04 PM 500 Views
The headline is "NASA Announces Results of Epic Space-Time Experiment". *NM* Tim - 08/05/2011 02:55:02 PM 211 Views
