What the hell are gravity waves? Well, they are not going to make your coffee taste different or or help you figure out what love is. In fact, they are the slightest murmer of a celestial event that happened a billion light years ago.
So what's the big deal? One human mind, weaving the threads of thought of previous great minds reconfigured the universe and predicted gravity waves 100 years ago. Scientists who followed and put their faith in Einstein worked intensely and waited. Yesterday brought preliminary confirmation.
This is an amazing human achievement. Yet it will go lalrely unnoticed while we throw award after award at celebrities, giving them our time, attention and adulation.
