02 Aug 2013
Abstract
When bringing 'physics to the people', do we make physicists seem more like Tony Stark than Bruce Banner? Should we dash the hopes for time travel, warp drives, and other speculative (but very appealing) scenarios? What about the buzz around controversial topics like string theory, supersymmetry, multiverse, and more? And do we really need tech breakthroughs like the World Wide Web to justify basic science?
