and string theory as a description of the universe is making a comeback!....sort of...if you can deal with 6-27 dimensions and some VERY strange concepts of 'small'...

The thing is, this revelation about the 'continuous bang', etc., while quite far-reaching in the halls of acedemia, will not affect the man in the street much, the way Copernicus, Galileo and Giordano Bruno did.

When some practical application of this starts affecting church theory and allows space travel and contact with aliens...THEN it will find its place in history. The trouble is, we have gotten so good at denial that a big BUCKET of 'dark matter' on the evening news (Fox, of course) would not raise many eyebrows.
