“I have come up with CAT THEORY. I believe that everything is explained by tiny cats chasing those tiny strings. Well, it makes sense after three bourbons.”

Well, that could explain the energy involved!

I have no idea what is being discussed.

Government grants would be my guess.

I just love these String Theory threads. (ba-bump-bump!)

While looking for something, I wound up in the ‘blog for this ping list, and wow, something I’d forgotten about, I may start using them:

Thanks. We have a great physics prof at our local college (has lectured at Fermi) and hope to take a course from him when I retire.

Sounds fun.

I haven't read the Woit book yet. Is there anything different than what Smolin covered?

I>Lets talk about something with real gravitas, like General Relativity...

Just so long as we don't talk about General Motors, or General Electric.

LOL! Agreed!

Go with the first font but same physical size as second banner font. Better yet find another cursive font like: Aristocrat LET; Bickley Script LET; Brush Script MT; Caflish Script; Edwardian Script; Lucida Handwriting.
