[Ed' news of the day, as recounted to Predrag]
In today's big adventure, Ed and Barbara hiked over to Washington Square Park and, from there, using this new fangled twist on the art of telephony,
Ed dialed Engelbert Schucking's apartment to asked whether they could visit. And it worked. The system works so long as
Ed has the instrument with him. Which is not as simple as you might think. After 48 hours of having it, Ed lost the instrument. Due to the kindness of a cast including construction workers, speech therapists and neighbors, the instrument is back. For how long? Engelbert's son claims that Ed can text. But why would he want to?
(When the discovery of the muon was reported during a Chinese lunch, Rabi
reportedly said 'who ordered that?')
To quote Ed: "You have done amazingly and have dragged me into the
20th century in spite of myself."
Who's going to bring him the bad news? about what century...
