A theory which states that space and time are actually a four-dimensional continuum known as "spacetime", and that gravity is a manifestation of the curvature of the geometry of this four-dimensional spacetime. General Relativity explains the gravitational bending of starlight, how gravity slows down the flow of time, predicts the existence of blackholes, and even predicts the expansion of the universe. The theory was formulated by Albert Einstein in order to incorporate gravity into his theory of relativity.
The famous eclipse experiment of 1919 confirmed Einstein's prediction that light rays would bend in a gravitational field, according to his theory of general relativity.

However, since the first orr dipped into the water, Sailors have been smart-asses, if you give us 11 refined General Orders, we will give you back a vulgar 12th.

To walk my beat and beat my meat and fuck everything with in 15ft,
And Sir/Ma'am you are too fucking close!
This Definition is circa 1981, Naval Recruit Training Center, San Diego CA.

Get the The 12th General Order of a Sentry - Navy mug.Classified as the last conscious equipped Generation. Meaning they kind of got the way the world worked, and it's not neccessarily a 'We Are The World' place as many Gen Y parents and pop culture would have them believe. Tend to have a uniqueness about them that needs to be explained.
Defining trait is that they have characteristics of Gen X and so called Gen Y, yet do not really feel like they are part of either. Also remember the Pre-Information age society, Cold War, and the arrival of the Gulf War.
Statisticians usually start at '81 and atop at '85. Strongest alienation seems to be between '81 -'83. Is not regulated to years as this 'in limbo' feeling can go back as far as the late '70s. Seemingly making the original end dates of Gen X as the most accurate.
They might even take offense being called Cold Y and make up their own name.

Get the Cold Y Generation mug.Generation Y (born between 1980-1994) are also called the Echo-boom generation because their parents are Boomers. This is the last generation to remember the 20th century and the time before the fully digital age. Some grew up with no internet, others remember when dial-up was the big thing, before HDTV, before cell phones were commonplace, when CD players were a must have, when basic cable was luxury and when you went to the video store to rent a VHS and remember the days of Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis. The cutoff for Generation Z is not 9/11 as earlier thought, it is the mid 1990s, normally 1994. The last of Generation Y is in high school and no, they do not like Hannah Montana, that is Generation Z. While some of Generation Y is certainly over obsessed with social networking and is very narcissistic, it is still the last generation to remember the pre-Youtube/Facebook/Myspace era and to have connection to the 20th century. Early Yers remember the Cold War, good MTV and all Yers remember when kids TV meant something. Their icons include Michael Jordan, Will Smith and our pin-up girl was Pamela Anderson during the Baywatch days.
When were you born? 1991...ahh, you're Generation Y; remember Sonic for Sega Genesis
That and Super Mario World!
What about you?
"1996"
You're Generation Z. Do you remember when Yahoo was the #1 search engine?
"Yahoo? It's Google...and why would anyone like CD's?"
