Wow... Mans death is suspected to be the result of a meteorite strike. Of all the ways to die prematurely, this one would actually be OK with me. Especially if they made my tomb stone out of the meteorite.

Reminds me, a few years ago I was driving Hwy 93 at about midnight in the winter. I was driving through the valley just after coming down Storm Mountain so not in an avalanche area and hadn't seen a car in either direction since I got on the Hwy or for the next 5 minutes did I see anyone else.
Something came down onto my windshield and shattered it on the passenger side. I'm not saying I got hit directly from space but WTF? Can a meteorite bounce down a road? It didn't come from another car, nor was I anywhere near anything that could produce falling rocks. I hadn't thought of this in years until now but I racked my brain trying to figure it out the whole drive.
I was stopped in bumper to bumper traffic and something fell on my car and put a huge chip (It broke the window and frost would get inside after that) in my windshield. Tripped me out cause I wasn't under anything. No where near an overpass or anything and we weren't moving at all and neither was traffic on the other side.

Einstein continues to amaze. It shouldn't really be a surprise any more when he is proven right, but I still find it incredible what he was able to conceive of 100 years ago with the information that was available to him.
It makes me wonder what kind of revelations he would have had in 2016 with all the advancements we have had in the past century.

An excellent point, but he would probably not have had any additional revelations. A lot of our so-called advances are just further explorations of Einstein's original insights.
Every show I've watched on blackholes seems to have at least one physicist that hates the idea of a singularity. It really speaks to me for some reason.
Just seems like the fact that the math breaks down is a clear sign that something is wrong. I wish there was more layman explanations on the efforts going on to try and explain singularities but I guess it's not as sexy as "black holes with infinite density and speed!" so no one is making tv shows about that.

I like that, even though Einstein thought it was weird, and perhaps fundamentally incorrect, he was forced to accept it as part of his own theory, because science!
