quote [ A key principle of general relativity holds up in a new space-based test...
Scientists still don’t know how to combine general relativity with quantum mechanics, the physics of the very small. “The two theories seems to be very different, and people would like to merge these two theories,” Rodrigues says. But some attempts to do that predict violations of the equivalence principle on a level that’s not yet detectable. That’s why scientists think the equivalence principle is worth testing to ever more precision — even if it means shipping their experiments off to space. ] It's just a repeatable experiment but with greater accuracy.

Trying to conceptualize the interchangeability of gravity and acceleration is a humbling mental exercises. It really pushes the bounds of our monkey brains that evolved to operate three dimensional space to make rocks and sticks work together. That, and that the speed of light is not just the universal speed limit but also deeply entwined with time itself. Einstein was a swell guy; he is sorely missed by our species.

If you have never studied about him personally here is a very good documentary (made before History channel went off exploring aliens). Speaking of aliens, a friend recently asked me if I believed they exist. The more I study what we know so far about physics the more the answer seems to be "maybe, but we'll never see them with our own eyes."
