By the way, Popsci. com is a great website that will keep you update on what's happening in science.

Breath taking!...

Thanks Herb.

Here are some other great websites that you might like.   

nolinks. sciam. com

nolinks. discovermagazine. com

nolinks. nature. com

nolinks. popsci. com

These are the big four.   I consider these to be probably the most important four science websites.

I'll look at it when I'm near a hi-speed connection.   (Just dial-up at home, for the emails.)

Roger Penrose, a contemporary British mathematician and physicist, said something like, "All h*ll will have to break lose (in our theorizing) before there is another real advance in our understanding of the universe."

Is this another video just smoothing out the same old, in-the-box thinking?

Actually the LHC could make all hell break lose if they find the Higgs particle.

I think Penrose was referring to the rewriting of the more-basic laws of the universe to ones which (unify gravity with the electrical, but) still conform to the PaCT-law: for which the directions in parity (or spatial symmetry), charge, and time, must continue to be able to agee with each other, whichever the overall direction.

Wrt mass, well, that being a close derivative of (the mental/physical) matter, something which (by definition?) will never be found... is it overly likely anyone will be holding any of that soon?

And I much prefer to believe, and think, that the "final formula" will be more about formulas per se than either a particle (eg, Higgs) approach, or a wave (eg, String Theory) approach.

Still, the next few years will be very exciting.  :)

Perhaps, but what if we ultimately find out something "we didn't want to hear"?  (Nobody ever said every answer will be useful, or even palatable.  Like having found out we're very likely alone in the universe, certainly not the center of it, and only continue to grow (, psychologically, anyway,) apart from each other as we age.)

No, he posted this in the right spot.

But perhaps anyone hoping to beat (or abandon any notion of beating) roulette requires a broader outlook?

Casino-gambling is all about making the morons believe in themselves through a few lucky wins here and there...  as are, w/o the concomitant appreciations of a true winner.
