It's astonishing how one man 100 yrs ago possessed so much knowledge and intelligence! Only now with all our modern tech are we able to confirm what he'd found out 100years ago! What an amazingly brilliant man Einstein was. 4 Likes |

GANJAFARMER: Since the internet routes through satellites in space, which required such advanced scientific knowledge to execute, I recommend you log out. That way you're not contributing to "destroying the order." That way, you can stay in the wilderness with your great all seeing eye till the end of days. 8 Likes 3 Shares |

Ko le yeh won... They think the whole universe came into existence By mistake... In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth. That you buy something new but didn't use it for a very long time doesn't mean it's new when you start using it... 6 Likes 1 Share |

I like how Nigerians don't know what gravitational waves are. I Also like how they think gravitational waves have just been verified when this is actually the second time. the first time, earned the physicists involved Nobel prizes. I Also like how Nigerians are surprised that Einstein could have made a Hundred year prediction that turned out right. when scientists have been doing this since the inception of time. from Kepler predicting solar eclipse for future decades, Poincaré's conjecture, to Fermat's last theorem. which actually spanned 350+ years, The prediction of thousands of atomic particles not excluding the Higgs boson that was recently discovered, antimatter, Entire Atomic table! down to the color and shapes. so on, Riemann's hypothesis which has been verified for the first 40 million numbers, the predictions of Ray Kurzweil, Isaac Asimov, michio Kaku, which have all turned out right. Your pastors make yearly, Vague "prophesies" and you lot swoon over it, and most of the time, they don't come to pass! Yet, scientists make incredibly specific, concrete predictions spanning several decades to centuries, and you are all like . . . Scientist are still inferior to my pastor. Anyway. I'll enjoy the Ignorance while it lasts. cc Dekatron, johnydon22, hahn. 30 Likes 12 Shares |

So excited to know that our future will be a lot fun and a bit creepy. Endless possibilities- levitation, sub-space travel, time-travel, and a lot more than i could possibly know. Seriously einstein was super-human. Man has grown in knowledge of the cosmos in the last 150yrs than in its previous 15000yrs of existence 4 Likes |

Very soon our lazy ' copy and paste ' naija Profs. wu start troubling students with how to prove an equation. relating the speed of gravitational waves and speed of electromagnetic waves. Only theory we r good in here. when are we gonna have a research centre like LIGO mentioned above? 5 Likes 1 Share |

icemann:It would take a really long while. Gravitational waves are very, very weak. Almost indiscernible. It took on upgrade on those interferometers to detect the weak energy from the biggest collision that could ever produce gravitational waves. 1 Like |

abumeinben: Nikolas Teslar is the greatest underrated genius of all time. The man was so intelligent that he was considered crazy, imagine how different the world would have been with his thesis on wireless transmission of electricity.

Rogersmith: The importance s dat it will help explain the big bang theory whch talks abt d origin of d universe. It will also help to explain or prove some physical concepts/law which we never knew that existed. Albert Einstein, he predicted this gravitational wave in 1916 nd 100 yrs leta its being proved. 1 Like |
