New Scientist has a REALLY interesting article entitled "13 Things that Do Not Make Sense." Some of these things, if solved, could cause huge changes in medicine, physics, or our general view of the universe.

Update: The probe has landed successfully, and has transmitted a couple pictures back.

Scientists Take a Leap

This is a little bit off topic, but one of the more interesting things I've read in a newspaper for a while. This excellent piece in the NY Times, entitled "God (or Not), Physics and, of Course, Love" asks prominent scientists what theories they believe to be true, even though they can't prove them.
