A Conversation with Alan Lightman

An anonymous reader writes "LiveScience has an interview with Physicist, novelist, and science writer, Alan Lightman with regards to the future of science and what the next "big" discoveries might be. From the article: "Generally attack against science is part of a greater attack against intellectualism in general. I think right now we're in an anti-intellectual period in the United States, but I think the pendulum will swing back in the other direction again."

That article is nothing more than Flame Bait. Check out this world record peristaltic movement by Michelle Hines instead: http://intermaweb.net/index.php/2005/10/29/world-r ecord-4-peristaltic-action/ She couldn't have done it without the help of science, of course. Michelle Hines produce a single extruded excrement the exact length of her colon: 26 feet. That's one nasty bitch!
