The Universe, it makes the laws

The New York times reports, "Satellite Will Fall to Earth, but No One Is Sure Where"

"A European satellite that mapped Earth’s gravitational field in exquisite detail will be pulled down by gravity to its fiery destruction sometime in the next few days."

This is almost poetically circular! We build a tool to study gravity and gravity sends it back to us. Unpredictably!

The universe apparently has a sense of ironic humor!
