...proved unworkable, he tried JellO, but found it had a tendency to decompose. Reverting to simplicity, he hit upon the idea of using masses filled with water. In his first experiments, he used only cold water, but found that he "woke up with my bottom feeling like ice." A radiant-heat unit solved that problem, and after Hall spent 18 months trying to interest manufacturers and dealers in his home area of San Francisco, King Koil Sleep Products decided to try the water...
...approbation injected a new note of self-confidence into his painting. His colors grew warmer and more radiant, his scale ever grander.

...possible source of gravitational waves is the death of an ancient, massive star after its nuclear fires have burned out. No longer supported by its own radiant energy, it collapses violently, its density and gravitation becoming so great that it crushes itself out of existence. For all practical purposes, according to theory, the star becomes a "black hole" in space. But to produce waves on the scale observed by Weber, some 200 such stars would have to collapse every year in the Milky Way: scientists believe that the actual rate is only about one per year. Weber is equally puzzled...
