Shaking Hands with Gravity

December 30

Look, no ones knows enough about physics to really tell you the true meaning of everything and how it fits together.

But for ordinary people like us, untroubled by the theoretical, there are constants—axioms of the way things work. The speed of light. The passing of time. They may play differently on other planets, but here, we can know them.

Not just as figures on a sheet of paper, but as one of the few faithful friends in an ever-changing world.

Do you know how much easier it is to move water downhill instead of up? How much simpler it is to make a deadline when time is working for you?

If you can shake hands with gravity, the only thing left to do is wait.
