...fine to propose speculative ideas," says Woit, "but if they can't be tested, they're not science." To borrow the withering dismissal coined by the great physicist Wolfgang Pauli, they don't even rise to the level of being wrong. That, says Sean Carroll of the University of Chicago, who has worked on strings, is unfortunate. "I wish string theorists would take the goal of connecting to experiment more seriously," he says. "It's true that nobody has any good idea of how to test string theory, but who's to say someone won't wake up tomorrow morning...

Bush, greeted on his way into Budapest by crowds of shirtless men lining the roadways, was to conclude his trip with a hilltop ode to democracy marking the 50th anniversary of Hungary's unsuccessful 1956 uprising against Communist rule. His planned remarks, bolstering the philosophical case for his "freedom agenda," made a subtle but unmistakable allusion to Iraq by suggesting that once a democracy is established, that sets an example and others will follow...
