Your personal background.
I'm a 64 year old retired Banker living in New York City. I'm a widower who received my BA with a major in Foreign Languages (French) in 1963 and my MBA in Finance in 1979 from Pace University. I've always harbored an avid interest in the sciences, especially Cosmology, Astronomy, and Physics. The computer is my tool of choice in pursuing these interest
Your opinions about Einstein@Home
I think that Albert Einstein was the greatest physicist who ever lived. His predictions concerning gravity waves have always interested me. This project which will attempt to confirm his predictions will certainly accelerate our understanding of how the Universe works. That it concerns this least understood of the four major forces, should in some way contribute to the attempts to combine and bring together all the forces in one all consuming theory.
