String theory has finally made a prediction that can be tested with experiments — but in a completely unexpected realm of physics.
The theory has long been touted as the best hope for a unified “theory of everything,” bringing together the physics of the vanishingly small and the mindbendingly large. But it has also been criticized and even ridiculed for failing to make any predictions that could be checked experimentally. It’s not just that we don’t have big enough particle accelerators or powerful enough computers; string theory’s most vocal critics charge that no experiment could even be imagined that would prove it right or wrong, making the whole theory effectively useless. Now, physicists at Imperial College London and Stanford University have found a way to make string theory useful, not for a theory of everything, but for quantum entanglement. String theory suggests that matter can be broken down beyond electrons and quarks into tiny loops of vibrating strings. News - Fashion news and behind the scene features.

Children’s picture books — the best of them, at least — have this magical quality of speaking to young hearts with expressive simplicity, but also engaging grown-up minds with subtle reflections on the human condition. Such is the case of Little Bird (public library) by Swiss author-illustrator duo Germano Zullo and Albertine, published by the wonderful Enchanted Lion Books. Illustrated in Albertine’s signature style of soft, colorful minimalism, this little gem is like a beautiful silent film, only in vibrant hues and on paper. It tells the tender story of a big-hearted man who halts his truck at a cliff’s edge. The two have lunch together and, eventually, the man tries to encourage the bird to fly off and join the others by attempting a comic demonstration of flight himself.

In the 4th century BC, Aristotle admonished: The man who is isolated, who is unable to share in the benefits of political association, or has no need to share because he is already self-sufficient, is no part of the polis, and must therefore be either a beast or a god. Indeed, the ancient world held exile as the most formidable form of punishment, second only to execution, though in Greek tragedies it was often regarded as a fate worse than death.

In the opening scene of My Week with Marilyn, Michelle Williams wiggles her way into character with a knockout white dress and a throaty rendition of “Heat Wave.” Costume designer Jill Taylor (Sliding Doors, Match Point) had her own reason to be short of breath.
Due to budget constraints, the costumer wasn’t able to construct a double of the masterfully accurate gown, which was hand-detailed—bead for tiny bead—to match the original. “That one white dress had to work solidly for 11 days—and after day four, the original metal zip broke,” she says. 9 Things Every Entrepreneur Needs to Learn From Woody Allen.
