OKay, my head is still spinning a little from this and I think I'm really going to have to go back and read Flatland (http://www.alcyone.com/max/lit/flatland/) again to really be able to wrap my mind around (heh) it, but I suspect that while it may have been wild speculation that allowed them to reach these conclusions, that they may be exactly right.

It really explains a great deal about subatomic particle behaviours.

TOPEKA, KS—As the debate over the teaching of evolution in public schools continues, a new controversy over the science curriculum arose Monday in this embattled Midwestern state. Scientists from the Evangelical Center For Faith-Based Reasoning are now asserting that the long-held "theory of gravity" is flawed, and they have responded to it with a new theory of Intelligent Falling.

i heart the onion.

a movie all about quantum physics! i wish oh how i wish they would show this in nashville.

WHAT THE BLEEP DO WE KNOW?! is a new type of film. It is part documentary, part story, and part elaborate and inspiring visual effects and animations. The protagonist, Amanda, played by Marlee Matlin, finds herself in a fantastic Alice in Wonderland experience when her daily, uninspired life literally begins to unravel, revealing the uncertain world of the quantum field hidden behind what we consider to be our normal, waking reality.

The world of Edge.org wakes up to reputation, and MemeStreams is explained.

"General altruism": here you give something back not to the person to whom you owe something, but to somebody else in society.

"We had become prisoners of the dilemma."

Here the question of trusting the other, the idea of reputation, is particularly important. Google page rankings, the reputation of eBay buyers and sellers, and the Amazon.com reader reviews are all based on trust, and there is a lot of moral hazard inherent in these interactions."

After nearly 30 years of arguing that a black hole destroys everything that falls into it, Stephen Hawking is saying he was wrong. It seems that black holes may after all allow information within them to escape. Hawking will present his latest finding at a conference in Ireland next week.

The about-turn might cost Hawking, a physicist at the University of Cambridge, an encyclopaedia because of a bet he made in 1997. More importantly, it might solve one of the long-standing puzzles in modern physics, known as the black hole information paradox.
