Relative Importance: little things
thought provoking post by Sean
we look at google for some more info:
"string theory" - 738,000
"loop gravity" - 4,000
"general relativity" - 804,000
"gravitational radiation" - 101,000 + "gravitational waves" - 207,000
"cosmology" - 5,200,000
"astrophysics" - 10,400,000
"astronomy" - 49,000,000
"planets" - 15,800,00
"extrasolar planets" - 201,000
"space" - 352,000,000
"life" -541,000,000
Hm.
"evolution" - 82,700,000
"intelligent design" - 1,970,000
"creationism" - 1,090,000
This will hurt
"astrology" - 9,290,000
but not as much as I thought.
Let us go astray:
"Iraq" - 103,000,000
"Iran" - 63,100,000
"Syria" - 23,700,000
"North Korea" - 15,300,000
cf "Iceland" - 36,200,000
"England" - 106,000,000
"Scotland" - 54,500,000
"George Bush" - 7,530,000
"Dick Cheney" - 3,040,000
"Karl Rove" - 3,820,000
"Osama bin Laden" - 3,880,000
"Saddam Hussein" - 6,540,000
Now, that's got to hurt.

.. yeah, but its probably correct that
Heaven (22,200,000) is smaller than
Hell (32,500,000).
Dilbert devotees will also be interested in
Heck (8,790,000)
and Catholics in
Purgatory (1,160,000)
Lumping the last 3 together, one has a
2/3 chance of ending somewhere other
than Heaven - other factors such as
actual conduct or belief in such things
set aside...
"loop quantum gravity" has 34,000, which seems a more reasonable comparison to string theory.
Hm, yes that does seem more reasonable.
A quick google: "MOND" - 1,590,000
That worked.
"MOND" AND "gravity" gives 42,000?!
More than quantum loop gravity.
"plasma cosmology" gives 5,000
But the top ranked item is a LANL site on computational modeling...
"electric universe" has 50,000 or so, but most of those are the comic books and I can't be bothered to filter it down to the crackpot sites.
