Albert Einstein: “You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long
cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles.
Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send
signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is
no cat.”
