Minivans are back, the family vehicles are in such high demand that they’re selling above sticker price.

Tease: In _____ minutes, one of Einstein’s predictions comes true

The discovery fulfills a prediction rooted in Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity. Hands down my favorite scientific theory, mainly because it’s the only one I vaguely remember. (Additional out) I’ve seen enough movies to know that all space related scientific discoveries inevitably end with alien invasions.
