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.

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.

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.
