Found this while looking for Pluto / planet news updates. Michael Brown (co-discoverer of "Xena") will also appear.

:') Too bad, there's no String Theory ping list. I just bumped a few people who have posted related topics in the past. This isn't a ping list, but sorry for any inconvenience.

I think I watched a program on the Discovery channel about String Theory, was very enlightening. It helped explain a lot of interesting things.

Its either the greatest theory since Relativity, or its the biggest case of mental m@sterbation in a century..

Thanks for the ping. I'm always interested in these string theory threads. Missed the live airing but will try to listen to it when they get around to putting it in the podcast archive.

Jupiter has over 60 moons, some of which are retrograde, and most of which have been discovered in recent years. I propose eliminating them as moons, and reverting to just the four Galilean moons of Jupiter. The other moons are too small / too different / too strange. And I won't compromise or listen to anyone about this. ;')
The lame and/or childish objections to the proposed planet definition have hit a new low -- CNN trumpets that the Moon would have to be reclassified as a planet, provided it survives long enough. If the IAU still exists then, it can make that determination.

Those theoretical physicists think that just because they're good at math they can string the rest of us along.
If anyone has any idea where to find an online archived stream of the broadcast, I'd appreciate it.

....detractors say that string theory is sloppy and founded on unwarranted assumptions.Ahhh.... You mean just like global warming "science"?
