DisplayAds("Right1"); I was just reading a 1995 paper by Lee Smolin arXiv:gr-qc/9505028 "Linking topological
quantum field theory and non-perturbative quantum gravity" not such a catchy title, but contains some surprising things We all know the story about how Einstein put Lambda (cosmological constant) in the quations in 1916 and then found it ...

DisplayAds("Right1"); http://xxx.lanl.gov/abs/hep-th/9910146 This is only 16 pages and in PDF so easy to print out. It is by Fotini Markopoulou and Lee Smolin and it is called "Holography in a quantum spacetime" I nominate it for the landmark eureka paper of 1999. String theory and branes are on the run, loop
quantum gravity is in. This paper is ...

DisplayAds("Right1"); (1) Go ahead and save it with the shuttle. (2) Keep it in orbit (maintenance missions). (3) Let it burn up in the atmosphere. (4) Other. Heard this question posed on a radio talk show. The original plan was that, once its performance period was done*, a shuttle mission would be sent up to retrieve the
Hubble and bring it back to Earth ...

I suppose I will have to list them again or can you read or even remember? I remember. And I remember objecting because solving the mystery implies being able to generate precise
