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

I can remember only a little: "It's like wiggling the tail of a cat. It makes a sound at the other end. Only there's no cat." Does anyone have that quote?
