    In which very famous person's description of the difference between wire telegraphy and radio did the words 'there is no cat' occur?

    Question #43289. Asked by Baloo55th.

    ALBERT EINSTEIN

    You see, wire telegraph is a kind of 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 in exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat.
