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."
