Oh for a simple diagram!

Einstein agreed with you Felix. That if a theory is true you should be able to make an image that a 7th grader could understand.

Here is one of his images that you Felix might not appreciate.

The wireless telegraph is not difficult to understand. The ordinary telegraph is like a very long cat. You pull the tail in New York, and it meows in Los Angeles. The wireless is the same, only without the cat.

Best to you,

Pat

OK Felix how did you know that Michael was an English Man. Must be that fine feline nose.
BTW: You may wish to stay clear of physicists since they want to box you up and stretch you from America to England.

Best and be careful I think you only have 7 lives remaining.

Hi Pat

No, I was not being catty. I thought Michael's symbol must be the logo for the London Underground if not a Greek letter.

I have no objections about the transatlantic stretch so long as they can explain it in simple terms and the US location is Princeton!

PS - what happened to my other life?

Hi Felix;

I thought being in that box for 70 years ~ 500 cat years would have taken one of your lives, and Einstein stretching you from here to Europe would have taken its toll. But then Mickey may be older and he's a mouse, but he is staying clear of you.

Best,

Pat
