String Theory
There is a fascinating article on the current scientific schism over string theory in today's SF Chronicle. Some scientists have based their careers on it, others think it's a bunch of unproven nonsense, and both sides are very passionate. In addition, this is apparently one of the most skeptical newspaper articles on string theory ever to appear in the mainstream press. SF Chronicle, breaking new ground again!
Here's a good blog entry on the subject as well.
The article is yet another to refer to the discovery in the mid '90's that the universe is expanding faster and faster as one of the most groundbreaking discoveries ever in the history of cosmology.
Makes me realize I never finished reading Alpha and Omega. In fact, I left off just at the point that it was starting to explain string theory. Looks like it's time to pick that book up again.
