Incidentally, the great physicist John Wheeler died Sunday. A quote from Fred Raab: “He was one of the giants of 20th century physics”.

Yeah, I read about Wheeler’s passing-—he certainly left his mark.

I watched the 20 minute video from the NSF about LIGO. Cool stuff. Are they hiring chefs?

Wasn't he an atheist? So he went to meet his...S-matrix.

Full Disclosure: I wonder what state he's in now.

Cheers!
