It is a *random* *signature*, and it is a *scientific* *joke*. Finally got it? And no, two physicists will suffice. To “rotate the universe” means to define a frame of reference in which the light bulb does not move but that rotates relative to the frame of reference of the physicist holding the light bulb. As all frames of reference are equal, that is equivalent to a physicist that turns around while holding the light bulb. By contrast, your rubber sheet story is well beside the point, and not even funny. Stop it. PointedEars -- Q: What did the nuclear physicist order for lunch? A: Fission chips. (from: WolframAlpha)
