Every month or so it seems like another eminent physicist publishes a new book claiming to go beyond or "before" the Big Bang.

With one out in the top of the ninth inning of last night's World Series game 1, Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre stepped to the plate. Down by one run with an elite power hitter at bat, Texas looked for a moment to have a chance of getting back into the game.That chance was squandered when Beltre swung at the first pitch from St...
