An Einstein Moment

Albert Einstein is one of my heroes, though about the only thing we have in common is flunking elementary school math. He surmounted his failure; I have yet to surmount mine. Anyway, this is a great quote from the master of the cosmological thought experiment:

"You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat."

Albert Einstein, when asked to describe radio.
US (German-born) physicist (1879 - 1955)
