"It looks like GEO600 is being buffeted by the microscopic quantum convulsions of space-time," says Hogan. If this doesn't blow your socks off, then Hogan, who has just been appointed director of Fermilab's Center for Particle Astrophysics, has an even bigger shock in store: "If the GEO600 result is what I suspect it is, then we are all living in a giant cosmic hologram."

Mexican authorities said Wednesday they have changed a controversial lighting project at the pre-Hispanic Teotihuacan pyramids to reduce its impact on the nearly 2,000-year-old structures ... The local government launched the project to create a nighttime light and sound show for tourists, and defended it by noting that similar displays function at other archaeological sites around the world. ... But critics said the project damaged the stones, looked ugly and demeaned Teotihuacan's historical and religious significance. ... In 2004, a proposal by the Mexican subsidiary of U.S. retail giant Wal-Mart to open a discount store less than a mile from the pyramids sparked months of protests. The store opened later that year.
