It's "all systems go" for one of the most ambitious physics experiments ever attempted. After more than 40 years of methodical planning and four months of intense troubleshooting, NASA's Gravity Probe B spacecraft has begun its search for a bizarre prediction of Einstein's relativity.

This is the third article in a series of four articles each with a separate explanation of different quantum phenomena. Each article is a piece of a mosaic, so every one is needed to understand the final explanation of the quantum astronomy experiment we propose, possibly using the Allen Telescope Array and the narrow-band radio-wave detectors being build by the SETI Institute and the University of California, Berkeley.

Big Bang was Big Bounce So it turns out that the universe didn't begin with a big bang, after all. No. It was a big boing, the result of a previous universe contracting before bouncing back out to become ours. This is the latest news from the mutantly clever quantum cosmologists at Penn State university.â¦

Charles Darwin would have had to wait decades for his own "natural selection" as a Nobel prize winner and Stephen Hawking might never get one, if his physics theories are not proved or widely accepted in his lifetime.

Recently two books,          by Peter Woit         and         by Lee Smolin,          have been published questioning whether the enormous theoretical        effort applied to the problems of string theory has been        fruitful.  Both books have been reviewed in           several        popular        publications,          and generated substantial discussion both inside and outside of        the physics community.                        One response was published several days ago           by Briane Greene          on the Op-Ed page of the New York Times (also        here).  A          famously grouchy observer          called the editorial a long, wistful plea for patience.  But        what struck me most as I read it was its similarity to the           crackpot index          maintained by John Baez.  So, for fun, I scored it.
