I seem to remember that actually being talked about a couple of years ago, Badtux. Something that some clown wanted to add to a law about weights and measures [along with the obligatory rant against the Metric system].

Ties back to your point about ‘geniuses’, Steve – the problem isn’t finding the truth and knowledge, it’s getting people to accept reality if it conflicts with their biases and prejudices.

Thanks for the pic of Albert. Now there was a genius in an age of geniuses. I had begun to think that era was past, but the more I read of quantum physics, cosmology, strings and M-theory, etc., the more I think we are well into a similar age today. If we can only somehow avoid blowing ourselves out of existence, we may actually come to understand life, the universe…
