[extropy-chat] String Theory: Not Even Wrong...

[Robert Bradbury]

The NY Times is picking up on the problems with physics today [1].

It points out how supersymmetry isn't exactly knocking down the doors and
the only "new" thing appears to be "inflation" (the acceleration of the
expansion of the universe) which doesn't fit into the "standard" model [2].
Also how disappointed everyone will be if only the Higgs boson pops out of
the work at the spiffy new collider in CERN in the next couple of years.

2. Of course if the universe is filled with ATC then all theories derived
from assumptions that the universe is dead are on the table for discussion.
