Congratulations to American Scientists!

WASHINGTON (AP) — In an announcement that electrified the world of astronomy, scientists said Thursday that they have finally detected gravitational waves, the ripples in the fabric of space-time that Einstein predicted a century ago.

That seems like a victory for the beardy Austrian really.

It's was an American research project conducted by American universities.

To prove an Austrian was smart.

True and the designer of the project from England.

Put your hands together for British science.

[bobevenson]

You jealous anti-American bastards are a joke, we've done everything and you've done nothing. I don't blame you for having an inferiority complex.

[Arising_uk]

You're the one with the complex bobby, hence the post.

Be fair, an Italian and an Indian.

... we've done everything and you've done nothing. ...

'We' is it bobby, what have you done for science? What an irony given your claims.

[Arising_uk]

Well, if you're going to take this stance then I guess the Indian and Italian have it given they are from Cardiff University.

[Arising_uk]

Ah! Now this may be of interest as the Indian is also working on the British-German GEO 600 project and this may well give us another 'radio telescope/CMB' moment, as last time I read they appeared to have a 'noise' they can't get rid of and it appears to fit a prediction about the 'holographic universe' idea.

I think "thou doth protest too much." Yes, I think it was a European who wrote that.

UK bobby. There is no Federal United States of Europe, at least not yet. It's you who posts jingoistic crap, due mainly to some weird inferiority complex I doth presume.
