From: Lawrence Krauss To: Jeffrey Epstein <[email protected]> Subject: Stuff Date: Mon, 25 Oct 2010 15:27:59 +0000 I will spend the morning thinking more about honestly if this is worth your time. I am also upset about whoever is giving you information that i am not doing science... I am indeed stretched, but always have been. Nevertheless have been involved in a number of exciting, if focused projects and been building a group at asu, which takes time. So the last year and a half has been an investment, but like every other time I have moved to build a group, in the midst of it, the work continues. Our work on gravitational waves has spurred a lot of work, and a project I am involved in with a postdoc and people from Melbourne could turn out to have significAnt implications for dark matter. We now have 4 postdocs and three new faculty and are hiring two more, and i expect 2-3 new postdocs,so that by next year we may have one of the most active groups around. At the same time, it is true that I am looking around at other areas because I am not convinced that cosmology will be fruitful in the coming years and i have broad interests. Nevertheless, it is important to know whether the people giving information on my own science are knowledgeable. I don't think Barnaby, in spite of his intelligence, is.. And I am more convinced than ever, btw, talking to Paul Davies and others who are quite sympathetic and not anti-Templeton, that Templeton is in more disarray than Barnaby suggests. And Lisa, if she was discussing this, has, alas, a huge chip on her shoulder and gets angry too easily... And while the whole extra dimension thing has been important, it is nowhere as important as she thinks it is... Anyway, we wick talk more. Lawrence M.
