If I remember correctly, she was one of the original proponents of M-theory. Seems to be a pretty good communicator, pity she doesn't seem to be generally as well known as the other physics bods.

Also, I find her vaguely hawt! :oops:
Lemme know how it is... looks good!

Almost certainly my favourite booky thing ever. I can never work out if I prefer the radio shows or the books, but they're both amazing.

sounds grand & is
graphics largely convincing

Australia's plate,

for the third time

possibly into coagulation again
in which case
as global sea currents are inhibited
heat distribution slows
moisture cools
ice age
possibly a long one
