For example, some passages are so breathy and frothily silly that it is difficult to believe they were written by an historian...
...answer may be provided by a fantastic new theory reported last week in the Dutch journal Physics Letters B. In their report, two renowned Princeton scientists and a graduate student suggest that the pressure of electromagnetic radiation, emanating from dense "threads" of pure energy called cosmic strings, could have been responsible for making the universe lumpy. That pressure, the theory holds, pushed matter outward, piling it into thin shells and leaving huge voids in the cosmos. "If this theory is correct," says Astrophysicist Jeremiah Ostriker, the theory's co-author, "our views about cosmic-scale structure will be radically changed...
