Geek News: Neutrinos, Einstein, and the Power of Experiment

This article by physics professor Michio Kaku gives us our quote of the day as well:

Reputations may rise and fall. But in the end, this is a victory for science. No theory is carved in stone. Science is merciless when it comes to testing all theories over and over, at any time, in any place. Unlike religion or politics, science is ultimately decided by experiments, done repeatedly in every form. There are no sacred cows. In science, 100 authorities count for nothing. Experiment counts for everything.

Heh.  Think about this the next time someone invokes authority over proof and hard evidence gathered from reproducible experimentation.
