      I usually side with Einstein on this…so loop!

      I don’t think I know enough to make a decision about either! But they are both theories and so could in fact both be found to be untrue in the future. That’s the great thing about science in that as we do more experiments and find new things out, we can modify our theories to better explain the world around us.

      I have to confess, I don’t know what the difference is! Should I spend this afternoon with a physics textbook?

      I’m with Jenny on this one! Physics is probably the branch of science I understand the least, shame on me…

      I, personally, have no preference!
