Martin Rees

[zotz]

There's an interesting article linked off Slashdot by Martin Rees, the famed cosmologist. He stresses that this is a very exciting time for astronomy and cosmology, and also seems very interested in the idea that we might be simulated rather than living directly in reality (obviously [cough] there's no implication that this article was put up to coicide with any notable film releases). Worth a look for anyone who caught Grayling on the Today program yesterday, perhaps. It isn't a technical article, incidentally, so don't be intimidated by the prospect of reading it.
