“The General Theory of Relativity of 1915 changed the way we view the universe overnight. However, it took Einstein 10 years to perfect it, something like 3650 days and 3650 nights.

“The phrase “there’s nothing on tv” is even older than television itself. The physicist John Logie Baird repeated it thousands of times until finally, in 1926, after four years of work; he could see something on the screen.
A simple idea can change the World. Aspirin – 110 years.”
