Ten questions science must answer

(1/2) > >>

Clive:
For 350 years, the Royal Society has called on the world's biggest brains to unravel the mysteries of science. Its president, Martin Rees, considers today's big issues, while leading thinkers describe the puzzles they would love to see solved.

GillE:
What about the eleventh question, which is:

"Why are there only ten questions?"

;D

I'm also inclined to ask why the Royal Society is interested in the thoughts of Lionel Shriver, Andrew Motion Tracy Chevalier and Joan Bakewell and what are their scientific qualifications to be consulted on the matter.  The Royal Society is treating the hoi polloi with contempt yet again!

the list is simply laughable... WTF does Joan Bakewell know about cosmology.

Much more worthwhile lists:
