The quest to unify all of physics into one big framework called “the theory of everything” has inspired a host of way-out ideas, with the current leading concept involving a 10- or 11-dimensional universe. Now a pioneer in the field of stem cell research has weighed in with an essay that brings biology and consciousness into the mix.

Robert Lanza, vice president for research and scientific development at Advanced Cell Technology, sets forth his view on the quest for a unified cosmic theory in “A New Theory of the Universe,” an essay appearing in The American Scholar.

His jailing comes after the prosecution decided not to appeal against his 18-month prison sentence for leaking papal documents.

Gabriele had been under house arrest since he was found guilty on October 6 of stealing documents from Pope Benedict XIV's apartments. A judicial source said later he would not be appealing against the verdict.

Around one hundred and fifty peaceful protestors, mainly indigenous tribal people and local fishermen effected by the proposed dam have occupied Pimental, one of the four work sites.  If implemented, the dam would flood over 500 square kilometers of forest and villages at an estimated cost of some US$13,000,000,000.

Taking control for the second time in six months, the protestors took truck and machinery keys from the workers who then had to leave the site on foot.  If the dam construction goes ahead the electricity it is expected to generate would be around 11,000 MW (MegaWatts), just over 10% of Brazil's installed capacity for electricity generation.  Local demonstratrs claim that the dam will devastate the great Xingu river and ruin their way of life.

Computer Model Tracks

Sandy continues to be a large and dangerous storm and poses a major threat to portions of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. Residents from New England to New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia should begin to prepare for Sandy.

While Sandy is expected to spend much of this weekend as a high-end tropical storm rather than a full-fledged hurricane, in no way does this lessen the danger to the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. Nearly all computer model forecasts expect Sandy to strengthen again when it interacts with jet stream energy Sunday into Monday.

(Reuters) - Hurricane Sandy, a late-season Atlantic cyclone that threatens to be one of the worst storms to hit the Northeast in decades, slogged slowly northward on Friday after killing at least 41 people in the Caribbean.

Forecasters said wind damage, widespread and extended power outages and coastal and inland flooding were anticipated across a broad swath of the densely populated U.S. East Coast when Sandy comes ashore early next week.
