“If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?”

In 1959, three scientists teamed up “to test one of the most esoteric predictions of Einstein’s theory of gravity…whether and how the spinning Earth twists space-time around itself…Now, 45 years and $ 700 million later, their dream has materialized as a van-size assemblage of plumbing, electronics and quartz.” –NY Times, April 13, 2004

「如果我們知道自己在做什麼的話,我們所做的事就不會被叫作研究了,不是嗎?」-愛因斯坦

1959年三位科學家集結起來「測試愛因斯坦最神秘難解的地心引力理論之一…地球自轉是否造成以及如何造成時空扭曲…45年以及耗費了七億美金之後,他們的夢想具體成為一個箱型車大小,由管線、電子零件以及石英拼湊起來的裝置。」-紐約時報2004年4月13日報導
