Supercomputer successfully simulates Super String birth of universe

A group of researchers appears to have successfully modeled the birth of the universe on Super string theory. While the much-touted "theory of everything" has appeared to resolve a number of issues and inconsistencies between General Relativity and quantum mechanics, the calculations involved have been so complicated and interconnected that its actual effectiveness at describing the birth of the "3 + 1" universe that we inhabit today, has been up for some scrutiny.

Neutrino Experiment Repeated

Replication is key in scientific research, psychologists largely ignore this, but it seems that physicists do not:

The team which found that neutrinos may travel faster than light has carried out an improved version of their experiment - and confirmed the result.

This replication, of course, comes from the same lab. So it is possible that other labs with different equipment could not replicate it. Luckily two separate sites will attempt to replicate the results, alas it may be several months before we hear their results.
