As you have probably heard, today is Albert Einstein's birthday. Seems appropriate to mention this here as he had a historic run of his own in 1905 involving the number four. He published six papers that year, four of which are among the most famous in the annals of science. (It was really three plus an addendum to one of them. It contained an equation you may have heard of.) And none of that was even about his Theory of General Relativity, thought by many to be the greatest intellectual achievement by any one person ever. As in ever.
You may have seen in the news lately that scientists think they've discovered gravitational waves. As I understand it, which really I don't, these would validate the last big prediction of his Theory of General Relativity heretofore not demonstrated. Even if these findings don't hold up, the Theory will remain one of the more successful ones in all of physics.
Happy Birthday, Al. Ya done good.
