Writer for Science Magazine, Charles Seife(1), probed the mind-boggling advances that are taking us to a new understanding of the universe. There's been a scientific revolution in cosmology in the last decade, he said, with the realization that 96% of the universe is not made up of atomic structure, but rather is composed of dark energy and dark matter-- which we know very little about. Yet, he uses the concept of "information theory" --the idea that every particle in the cosmos contains information-- to connect such disparate fields as quantum mechanics and relativity.
One of the most intriguing scientific findings is that quantum objects can be in two places at the same time, which is illustrated by the paradoxical experiment known as Schrodinger's cat(2), he reported.He broached such topics as black holes, teleportation, and time travel. In a way, time travel has already been demonstrated, he said, detailing an experiment where a pulse of light actually exited a chamber before entering it. Seife also touched on frauds in science, describing the case of a physicist who fabricated data about Element 116. When it was revealed the results were manipulated, his announcement was retracted.

A new twist has emerged in the debate over how the large stones that comprise Stonehenge made it to the site. Rather than Bronze Age man transporting the bluestones some 240 miles, a geology team from U.K.'s Open University has found evidence that the boulders were in fact moved to the area by glaciers during the Ice Age.
