Does this language and this sentiment exist in college? Of course it does, but it’s not new, and it’s not everything. But Wolfe seems to think it is new, or at least, that the language has changed so dramatically as to signal a serious downward departure from the “decent” sexual undercurrents of yesteryear’s undergraduates. Yet even if it had, the pervasiveness of sex in Charlotte Simmons eclipses nearly all else—academic pursuits in a supposed elite institution, genuine friendships, even romantic relationships...

Multiple universes emerge from so-called superstring theory as well. This still evolving theory is based on the notion that, matter is made, not of particles, but of tiny, vibrating loops of energy called strings. The strings exist in a world of up to 10 spatial dimensions, all but three of which are too minute for us to perceive. Strange though it sounds, most physicists agree that it is the most likely candidate for the long-sought theory of everything that could finally unite relativity and quantum mechanics, the two great but mutually incompatible ideas of 20th century physics...
