Many of you may know that Discover is not only a web site thathosts a diverse collection of entertaining blogs, but also publishes a monthly“magazine” printed on paper. Wild, right? Just ask this baby, who can tell youthat a magazine is kind of broken when compared to an iPad.
Nevertheless, people read these things like crazy. I have recently startedcontributing an occasional column to the print magazine, known as “Out There.”(Our blog neighbor Carl Zimmer has been columnizing about the brain for a while now.) My first column appeared inthe October issue (which comes out in September), and is nowonline — check it out.
The issue I’m tackling, under the draconian word count limit of an actualprint magazine, is whether it’s scientific to talk about the multiverse.(Spoiler: it is!) Let me know what you think.
