Hey Tensor, everybody. Thanks. I've a bit of reading to do! I enjoy the historical aspect of these ideas as much as the scientific (very much at layman level both, the gnarly mathematics I skip altogether). The personalities I like too; some of these guys are just so damn smart! While I find GR and SR satisying, I can't help but feeling we're at a point similar to the turn of the last century: someone is gonna come along and do for Einstein what Einstein did for Newton. Just hope we're all still around when it happens. Can't wait for the LHC to fire off... and all the bad boy new telescopes.
