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)

By Brad Watson_Miami on May 15
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
