Amidst Rocky Peaks, Physicists Ponder the Universe

Click to enlarge images
For fifty years, physicists have flocked to the Aspen Center for Physics to ponder their ideas amidst the serenity of the Rocky Mountains. The string theory revolution started there, and over the years the center has hosted 10,000 theoretical physicists--53 of whom are Nobel laureates. Cosmologists Lisa Randall and Michael Turner give a rundown of the hottest physics gossip at the center this summer.
