MAGNIFICENT – string theory FTW and loop quantum gravity FAIL

Calabi-Yau for the win!!

I’ll freely admit that I am comprehending only about 10% of the argument, but this is still a magnificent post about why string theory is right and why loop quantum gravity is wrong.

And incidentally also reveals that the science writers on Big Bang Theory really are on top of the game. Sheldon’s snort of derision here is utterly justified.

“I’m listening. Amuse me.”

I really need to start watching the show. Hulu or Netflixable, I assume…

Netflixable, yes. That’s how I got caught up when Mission Control insisted I start watching the show.

Don’t know about Hulu.

My brain keeps trying to see faces in that picture.
