Now we know that the Universe is full of stuff, and the gravitational effects of all this matter permeate the whole of space. So Einstein was wrong!

At the time, cosmology was in its infancy, and space did appear to be largely empty.

His famous ‘thought experiments’, by which he arrived at this conclusion, featured people whizzing around in rockets in empty space.

Einstein’s Special Relativity theory claims that measuring the speed of light will get the same result, no matter what the movement of the observer.

Far better pictures of Unni, his team and the equipment can be found here.

A special algorithm allows Unni to immediately locate any item he requires in this custom filing system.

In order not to melt the equipment, the laser pulses are time-stretched before being amplified and then compressed again just before they hit the target.

Dr. M. Krishnamurthy (aka MK), who gave me a fantastically animated explanation of his research, which involves zapping micro droplets of liquid with absurdly powerful lasers, creating plasmas that are essentially miniature stars.

‘White Tiger (Kenny)’, Selective Inbreeding, Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge and Foundation, Eureka Springs, Arkansas.

In the United States, all living white tigers are the result of selective inbreeding to artificially create the genetic conditions that lead to white fur, ice-blue eyes and a pink nose. Kenny was born to a breeder in Bentonville, Arkansas on February 3, 1999. As a result of inbreeding, Kenny is mentally retarded and has significant physical limitations. Due to his deep-set nose, he has difficulty breathing and closing his jaw, his teeth are severely malformed and he limps from abnormal bone structure in his forearms. The three other tigers in Kenny’s litter are not considered to be quality white tigers as they are yellow-coated, cross-eyed, and knock-kneed.
