ww.edge.org jest kopalnia tematów do dyskusji. :
Najnowszy zbiór wypowiedzi współczesnych naukowców i intelektualistów redagowany przez Johna Brockmana nosi tytuł.: 2014 : WHAT SCIENTIFIC IDEA IS READY FOR RETIREMENT?
Przed laty zaznajamiałem się z niektórymi rozdziałami zbioru .: 2005 : WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE IS TRUE EVEN THOUGH YOU CANNOT PROVE IT?
Zaglądnąłem ponownie ! Okazuje się, że .. najnowsza książka "firmy" edge.org jest otwarta i jest możliwe kopiowanie fragmentów.

Physics has a time-honored tradition of laughing in the face of our most basic intuitions. Einstein's relativity forced us to retire our notions of absolute space and time, while quantum mechanics forced us to retire our notions of pretty much everything else. Still, one stubborn idea has stood steadfast through it all: the universe.
Sure, our picture of the universe has evolved over the years—its history dynamic, its origin inflating, its expansion accelerating. It has even been downgraded to just one in a multiverse of infinite universes forever divided by event horizons. But still we've clung to the belief that here, as residents in the Milky Way, we all live in a single spacetime, our shared corner of the cosmos—our universe.
Adjusting our intuitions and adapting to the strange truths uncovered by physics is never easy. But we may just have to come around to the notion that there's my universe, and there's your universe—but there's no such thing as the universe... ]
