...really get your hands on it. So what is it really?'" There wasn't any good answer. Although physicists work with time all the time (as it were), they never define precisely what it is. Barbour also knew that at least one physicist, an American named Bryce DeWitt, had managed to meld general relativity and quantum mechanics into a single consistent theory--a major goal of modern physics--by removing time from the equations. But that was generally considered a mathematical trick with no basis in reality...
...Philip Elmer-DeWitt...
When we first began discussing last spring who should be on our list of America's Best scientists and doctors, assistant managing editor Philip Elmer-DeWitt and his team pulled together more than 100 names in nearly as many specialties. That was the easy part. We then picked seven experts and asked them to help us winnow the list. That was the fun part...
Archrivals by nature, the Harvard and Yale track teams combined forces to defeat a contingent from Oxford and Cambridge on Saturday at Yale's Dewitt-Cuyler track...
...sell snake oil to TIME's science journalists. Or cold fusion, or any other unproven notion. "We pride ourselves on being sticklers for science, rooted firmly in the mainstream," says assistant managing editor Philip Elmer-DeWitt, whose hard-nosed science team produced this week's installment of Innovators, our monthly series on 100 people with breakthrough ideas. It was quite a departure for Phil's reporters and writers to venture into the realm of alternative medicine, where hopes proliferate and proof is often sketchy. Yet the field is booming because millions of Americans swear these therapies have given them relief...
