- Newtonian gravity shown to emerge from loop quantum gravity for first time, thanks to new model in which gravity is result of entropy, not a fundamental force of nature. http://www.fqxi.org/community/articles/display/132 95 comments space

- Time is an illusion? Not according to new model of a Crystallizing Universe which explains how time flows and why the past is set while the future remains open. Model rescues free will and explains how weird quantum experiments in which photons appear to "time travel". http://www.fqxi.org/community/articles/display/131 122 comments science

- Quantum gravity theory throws out Einstein's relativity in favor of Newton's absolute time and successfully describes a quantum graviton. Could also explain dark matter, dark energy. May also bring back "aether" (of sorts) that Einstein abolished. http://fqxi.org/community/articles/display/129 359 comments science

- Natural selection explains how objective reality is created from the quantum world--that is, why we don't see cats as both alive and dead at same time. http://fqxi.org/community/articles/display/122 10 comments science
- How 10-D string theory universe "collapses" into our universe explained using 8-D "octonions." Also solves mystery of why particles come in three generations. Could explain how space emerges in 4-D http://fqxi.org/community/articles/display/119 47 comments science
- Time doesn't exist and the universe isn't really expanding, says physicist Julian Barbour. Both are illusions. Discarding both could lead to a theory of quantum gravity, in the spirit of Einstein's General Relativity. http://www.fqxi.org/community/articles/display/117 358 comments science
- Cosmic rays reveal breakdown of Einstein's relativity. First evidence of quantum gravity, revealing graininess and frothiness of spacetime fabric, says architect of "doubly special relativity."
