Note:These pages make extensive use of the latest XHTML and CSS Standards. They ought to look great in any standards-compliant modern browser. Unfortunately, they will probably look horrible in older browsers, like Netscape 4.x and IE 4.x. Moreover, many posts use MathML, which is, currently only supported in Mozilla. My best suggestion (and you will thank me when surfing an ever-increasing number of sites on the web which have been crafted to use the new standards) is to upgrade to the latest version of your browser. If that's not possible, consider moving to the Standards-compliant and open-source Mozilla browser.

Just Wow!

I was recently invited to appear on a panel at the World Science Festival this May. For scheduling reasons, I had to decline. But since I had been told that the other panelists were to include Carlo Rovelli and Lee Smolin, I had the sense that, even had I been able to make it, the event would be a colossal waste of time.

But then this came across my desk (the original passage from Smolin’s book is here), and I am even more glad that I said, “No.”
