How else do you think Moses "parted the Red Sea" Gisse?

Nobody parted the Red Sea, Potter!

General Relativity is a theory invented by Albert Einstein which describes
gravitational forces in terms of the curvature in space caused by the
presence of mass. The fundamental principle of general relativity asserts
that accelerated reference frames and reference frames in gravitation
fields are equivalent. General relativity states that clocks run slower in
strong gravitational fields (or highly accelerated frames), predicting a
gravitational redshift. It also predicts the existence of gravitational
lensing, gravitational waves, gravitomagnetism, the Lense-Thirring effect,
and relativistic precession of orbiting bodies.

General Relativity has directly contributed to a $30B+ industry, creating a
global infrastructure benefiting people all over the world. Aviation,
shipping, asset management, survey, mining, agriculture, time dissemination,
communications networks, etc.

Bluster on, Potter, bluster some more you blustering old fool!

Sam! Sam!

Are you suggesting that unlike the Jewish leaders and authors
responsible for writing and propagating the Torah,
and creating the Jesus myth,
and other Jewish writers like Nostradamus, Karl Marx
and Sigmund Freud, who sent mankind on long
costly, wasteful, destructive pursuits,

that Einstein's General Relativity has not sent mankind
on a similar path, and wasted enormous amounts of time, money and
minds
on such pursuits as time travel, worm holes, gravitons,
warping through space, and the beginning and end
of the universe?

Is that what you are trying to tell me Sammy?

A mind is a terrible thing to waste.
