I Would Hope That The Publicity Around

Modern Thinking Is That Time Did Not Start With The Big Bang, And That There Was A Multiverse Even Before The Big Bang. In The Inflation Theory, And In String Theory, There Were Universes Before Our Big Bang, And That Big Bangs Are Happening All The Time. Universes Are Formed When Bubbles Collide Or Fission Into Smaller Bubles.

I Would Hope That The Publicity Around The Higgs Boson Would Increase The Public Awareness Of Physics And Cosmology.

In Physics, One Of The Most Exciting Areas Is In Nanotech. With Computers Exhausting The Power Of Silicon, Silicon Valley Could Become A Rust Belt, Unless We Can Find Replacements, Such As Quantum Computers And Molecular Computers. To Be A Leader In Any Field, One Has To Have A Great Imagination. Sure, We Have To Know The Basics And Fundamentals. But Beyond That, We Have To Let Our Imagination Soar.

Technologies That May Be Realized In Centuries Or Millennium Include: Warp Drive, Traveling Faster Than The Speed Of Light, Parallel Universes; Are There Other Parallel Dimensions And Parallel Realities? Time Travel That We Mentioned And Going To The Stars.

There Are Many Examples Of Old, Incorrect Theories That Stubbornly Persisted, Sustained Only By The Prestige Of Foolish But Well-connected Scientists... Many Of These Theories Have Been Killed Off Only When Some Decisive Experiment Exposed Their Incorrectness... Thus The Yeoman Work In Any Science, And Especially Physics, Is Done By The Experimentalist, Who Must Keep The Theoreticians Honest.
