String theory is finally gone!

After being sick and tired by the fuzz on the String Theory, I finally found a book that has made my mind to come back to calm waters again. After years and years of discomfort with the completely crazy status of present particle physics, which was mostly dictated by the String theory prevalence of nowadays.

The book is amongst the best I ever read and its title is:

Not Even Wrong by Peter Woit. If you have any interest on the present status of theoretical physics you might have an agreeable surprise when having a look at his blog.

Trouble with Physics

Lee Smolin, has open my eyes to a problem that was bothering me for years. Why physics is becoming so far away from reality? Why are we (again) becoming Platonists looking for an ideal universe, mathematically perfect and absolutely impossible to measure or probe? How can scientists state things such as dark matter, or dark energy that are purely imagination and maths as "real things if they have no proof whatsoever? How they dare state that the Universe has a beginning in time if there is no proof about it? How science became so corrupt to avoid to mention those things are pure theories, unproven theories? And finally, why science allowed models to be taken as reality (in climate change or global warming issues) if not for pure degradation and greed? This guy is really brilliant! I strongly recommend his books! Trouble with Physics

Most things I've wanted to spread around are here!

Today, I found this blog and it contains the gist of what I always wanted to make available for people with a minimum interest in science.
If you feel you have "some" interest in things like quantum physics, relativity and cosmology, I believe you will be happily surprised.
Good trip!

As vast and far-reaching as the world’s oceans are, every square kilometer is affected by human activities, according to a study in the journal Science by researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and others.
