What We Will Never Know
There is a realm the laws of physics forbid us from accessing, below the resolving power of our most powerful microscopes and beyond the reach of our most sensitive telescopes. There’s no telling what might exist there — perhaps entire universes.

String Theorists’ Heads Bobble Over Potential Dark Energy Wobble
Harvard physicist Cumrun Vafa is one of string theory’s strongest proponents. But this winter, other string theorists have been reeling from his latest conjecture, which might invalidate their ideas built on a decade-long assumption that dark energy is constant. Vafa’s work implies that dark energy’s value changes.
