...theorists, due to a lack of new data in recent years, have reached a roadblock - the Standard Model, which is the closest thing the theorists have to an evidence-backed "theory of everything," provides only an incomplete explanation of the universe. Until theorists get further data and evidence to move forward, the experimentalists believe, they end up simply making wild guesses - like those concerning time-traveling saboteurs - about how the universe works. "Nielsen and Ninomiya's theories are clearly crazy theories," says Dmitri Denisov, a physicist and Higgs-hunter at the DZero experiment at Fermilab. "In recent years theorists have...
...Fort Bragg, N.C.; Washington, Pa.; and the Villages in Florida, where she drew a crowd of 60,000 in September 2008.

The extent of the exodus of Caijing staffers is unclear, although people close to the magazine indicate a strong support for Hu's move and confidence that the new venture would be built on the independent model of the old one. "We were told that we will be doing the same thing, just with a different name and a different office," says one staffer. "We will continue to do reporting, talk with sources...
...global recession has brought the first significant yearly drop in energy demand since 1981, giving the planet a rare breather from carbon emissions. But this is a "unique" moment, the report says, whose gains will be quickly obliterated without a significant move toward alternative energies. The impending energy crisis is "far greater than many people realize," it says. (Read "Russia and China: An Old Alliance Hinges on Energy...
