Learn about Einsetein's predictions about the limit of cosmic speed.
In its first year of operations, NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has mapped the entire sky with unprecedented resolution and sensitivity in gamma-rays, the highest-energy form of light. On May 10, 2009 a pair of gamma-ray photons reached Fermi only 900 milliseconds apart after traveling for 7 billion years. Fermi’s measurement gives us rare experimental evidence that space-time is smooth as Einstein predicted, and has shut the door on several approaches to gravity where space-time is foamy enough to interfere strongly with light.

Unified Strings (U21 S19)
Unified Strings (U21 S19) Theory is physics' "Theory of Everything". However, it comes under the umbrella of Plan-it Theory of GOD=7_4 or FOD=6_4. These theories bridge religion & science by revealing The Revelation's "7 seals" as 'beyond Einstein theories' (google that). See http://7seals.blogspot.com
