The research of Dr. Gladys West, who died Jan. 17 at 95, laid the groundwork for the GPS.

Mathematician Gladys West dies at 95. She was a hidden figure behind GPS.
Without the mathematical model that she helped refine, “the extraordinary positioning, navigation, and timing accuracy of GPS would be impossible to achieve.”

Nature doesn’t negotiate.
You can argue online.

"But I'm still trying to make my mind up
Am I free or am I tied up?
I change shapes just to hide in this place
But I'm still, I'm still an animal
Nobody knows it but me when I slip, yeah I slip
I'm still an animal"
