It's all part of a much more elaborate scheme. :wink: Oh, darn, now I spoiled it by telling you!

You don't see it?! Hmmmm.

It's right there in plain sight on the top.
 
I'm not disappointed.
 
April 1st has been moved to April 8th this year so as to avoid problems with conficting with other festivals, such as Easter and May day. I shouldn't be saying this though, I think I might of blown the mentors cover. :smile:
 
I have a question! Is it inappropriate if we make fun of someone who we don't know in person?:shy:
 
Not if it's behind their back. The TV man told me so!
 
The April Fool's joke I posted last year was so good, that I decided not to try to top it.

Oh, do you think he really didn't see it? I thought he was just joking about not seeing anything as part of his own April Fool's prank and was going along not to spoil it.

Enjoy this paper by Flora Lopis & Max Tegmark: Relativity Revisited
Was Einstein wrong? This paper provides a detailed technical review of Einstein's special and general relativity from an astrophysical perspective, including the historical development of the theories, experimental tests, modern applications to black holes, cosmology and parallel universes, and last but not least, novel ways of expressing their seven most important equations.

I've known Flora Lopis from way back.

:biggrin:
