Ocelot Wreak writes "Physics Web has a cool summary of The Top Ten Physics Highlights of 2002. These include anti-atoms, neutrino oscillation - a finding that requires new physics beyond the Standard Model, defying the second law of thermodynamics, and using neutrons to measure quantum gravitational effects, amongst others. For some reason, the Slashdot Effect and the latest research on iPod-based Beowulf clusters were not included..."

      Well with the artificial womb and some chromosomal tic-tac-toe we could eventually have little Commander Neals and Cowboy Tacos runnning around.

  4. But the best news... by core+plexus · · Score: 5, Funny
    ...is by far more women getting into physics

    "12. Hope for the future More than 300 physicists from around the world -- most of them women -- met in Paris in March for the first International Conference on Women in Physics."

  5. Actually 12 highlights... by robbyjo · · Score: 5, Funny

    But the last two points are just "Low points of the year" and "Hope for the future".

    The hope is... more women in physics! Oh the joy! You guys in Physics should be happier now... :-) If only this happens as well in Computer Science...
