...Paris Hilton is a moron.” But Reiss said he has become jaded by the heavy presence of celebrities at the Simpsons office. In fact, he joked that he has walked into the Emmy-winning show’s second-floor office to find wheelchair-bound theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking just sitting there—even though the building has no elevators. After the speech, Reiss was given a Hillel shirt, hat, and necktie. “[The event] was sort of structured, like one of those Catskills comedy acts,” said Simpsons...
...seems to have offered even less in the way of speed, unless the turnover rate of its governments counts. By showcasing the equipment used by Carlo Rubbia, the exhibition provides an interesting - though less than pertinent - reminder that Italy has produced a Nobel-winning particle physicist. And the bulky fax machines, computers and cell phones featured from the 1980s seem largely irrelevant...
...ultimate resurrection into the new heavens and the new Earth. Jesus' resurrection marks the beginning of a restoration that he will complete upon his return. Part of this will be the resurrection of all the dead, who will "awake," be embodied and participate in the renewal. John Polkinghorne, a physicist and a priest, has put it this way: "God will download our software onto his hardware until the time he gives us new hardware to run the software again for ourselves." That gets to two things nicely: that the period after death is a period when...

If so, that's one more nod to Sir Arthur Eddington, the early-20th century physicist who said, "Not only is the universe stranger than we imagine, it is stranger than we can imagine...
...meets Jozef de Heer, an Auschwitz survivor who persuades Andermans to write down his life story, a gripping tale of escape and betrayal in the wartime German capital. Like nearly everyone in the book, De Heer isn't what he seems. Neither is Paul Goldfarb, a Nobel-prizewinning physicist who fled Nazi Germany to help develop the atom bomb at Los Alamos and is now back at Potsdam. Or Donatella, a sexy Italian physicist who comes on to Andermans even as she attains fusion with Goldfarb. Between trysts, she and the Nobelist are pursuing a subatomic particle whose existence might...
