Yellow Dog Enthusiasts,
Yellow Dog Linux user and HPC Consortium member Dr. Gaurav Khanna "is
employing his 'gravity grid' of PS3s to help measure these theoretical
gravity waves -- ripples in space-time that travel at the speed of light --
that Einstein's Theory of Relativity predicted would emerge when such an
event takes place."
