At Backreaction, Bee has a thoughtful review of Lee Smolin’s upcoming book The Trouble With Physics, with a complementary post featuring an interview with Lee himself. Go over there and fill her comment section with some non-crazy discussion! I’m supposed to be reviewing it for some slick magazine, so I can’t yet tell you what I think.

Cosmic Variance is a group blog by people who, coincidentally or not, all happen to be physicists and astrophysicists:
Our day (and night) jobs notwithstanding, the blog is about whatever we find interesting — science, to be sure, but also arts, politics, culture, technology, academia, and miscellaneous trivia. We have similar outlooks on many things, widely disparate opinions about others, and will do our best to keep the discourse reasonably elevated.

[...] Getting back to the issue: The next post I read in Cosmic Variance, Bigfoot and The Trouble With Physics, made me go to another blog, where an interview with another top physicist, Lee Smolin and a review on his latest book has been published. I was excited as Lee Smolin is one of my favorite authors on physics and I tried reaching the interviewer’s (another physicist) blog. [...]

So you look at the premise of Lee’s book based on reading links to B’s site. You read lee’s comments.
A lot of young people do not realize that given the “absolute” frame of reference, all the rules of science, one might want to ask why Lee would introduce Kuhnian perspective, into what is thought to be counter productive to revolutionary change. Bigfoot(Toe)?
So, one might see “evolution” from anomalistic behavior?
Has any scientist on this site or any other for that matter encounter such observations?
Sssh…just keep it quiet, while you do your science. Until you can prove your statement of observation? It has to be repeatable?:)
