Gravity Gone (mad/wild choose one)
I'm not sure I'm going to the Campbell Conference this weekend. Things are just kind of up in the air, but I guess I have to decide tonight. We'll see how the writing goes this afternoon.
In the meantime, here's a link to a NY Times article on a scientist who's saying we think of gravity in wrong ways and always have:
"Think of the universe as a box of scrabble letters. There is only one way to have the letters arranged to spell out the Gettysburg Address, but an astronomical number of ways to have them spell nonsense. Shake the box and it will tend toward nonsense, disorder will increase and information will be lost as the letters shuffle toward their most probable configurations. Could this be gravity?"
