Chicago - Feb 19, 2003 
The concept of extra dimensions, dismissed as nonsense even by one of its earliest proponents nearly nine decades ago, may soon help solve seemingly unrelated problems in particle physics, cosmology and gravitational physics. Even though scientists lack direct evidence of extra dimensions, "we have a number of hints from experiments and theoretical ideas that make us think they're probably out there. That's why we're so excited about looking for them," said Joseph Lykken, Professor in Physics at the University of Chicago. |

Tiny Nanotrains Could Power Big Changes In The Future 
Seattle - Feb 17, 2003For Viola Vogel, thinking big naturally comes coupled with the smallest objects imaginable. According to Vogel, director of the University of Washington's Center for Nanotechnology, understanding how nature does things at the molecular level and adapting those techniques into the synthetic world could drastically alter just about every aspect of our lives. |
Can Do Versus Do it Yourself
Costa Mesa - Feb 19, 2003It is an unfortunate fact that the best retrospection comes at times of great distress or tragedy. The entire space community, as well as the world body who understands the risks and price of exploration feels the loss of Columbia. However, it is imperative that we in the space community begin to examine ourselves first and foremost and to ask the tough questions before others writes David Barnhart. Re-Thinking Manned Space
