    Researching a column on Gravity probe B for the magazine, I came across the following quotation which I suspect I’ll be using in lectures from now on.

    Ptolomy invented a Universe and it lasted two thousand years. Newton invented a Universe and it lasted two hundred years. Now Dr Einstein has invented a new Universe, and noone knows how long this one will last.

    - George Bernard Shaw, 1930
