Exciting times

It has occurred to me what exciting times we are living in, regarding news of scientific discoveries. Over the past two weeks I have heard about breakthroughs in nanotechnology, gravity, astronomy, astrophysics and quantum physics. And those are just the topics to which I am paying attention.

Some more news...

Light observed to show both wave and particle properties at the same time (wow).

Chandra finds a mid-size black hole.

New ideas about how the sun might be trapping dark matter. Prepare to see many articles about attempts to observe dark matter in the coming months.

The Large Hadron Collider at CERN is preparing for its 2015 restart. They will be spending a lot of time and energy in Switzerland trying to observe dark matter and perhaps verifying supersymmetry.
