New Scientist - Quasars put lens on dark energy
Topic: Physics 11:18 pm EST, Nov 12, 2002

] "Observations of distant quasars distorted by massive
] invisible objects have provided fresh evidence that the
] Universe is mostly made up of mysterious "dark energy".
] The research indicates that around two thirds of the
] Universe consists of dark energy, a strange
] "anti-gravity" force affecting distant objects. This is
] consistent with previous studies, such as those on very
] distant supernovae explosions.
] These indicate that the Universe is expanding at an
] increasing rate, because the supernovae are dimmer than
] would be expected for a Universe without dark energy."

If anyone knows of any good books or other information on this "dark energy", let me know:) Sounds pretty interesting.

Here They Are, Science's 10 Most Beautiful Experiments
Topic: Physics 1:54 pm EDT, Sep 24, 2002

Ultimately, science comes down to the individual mind grappling with something mysterious.

Physics World magazine recently asked physicists to nominate the most beautiful experiment of all time. The 10 winners were largely solo performances, involving at most a few assistants.

What they have in common is that they epitomize the elusive quality scientists call beauty. This is beauty in the classical sense; confusion and ambiguity are momentarily swept aside, and something new about nature becomes clear.
