Neutrons could test Newton's gravity and string theory

Lively District Secondary School Mr. Tom Corrigan was my Physics teacher in high school. He was one of a few teachers during that phase of my life who planted within me a life-long interest in a subject... a gift I will always be grateful to him for. Even though I didn't choose that discipline as a career (never good enough at the math) I'm always on the search for any articles from the field. Science texts also have always figured prominently among my reading materials throughout the years. As dedicated as I am to serve and worship the God who created all that exists, I've had a concomitant zeal for learning how creation works. Rather than serving to diminish my belief in a super-natural creator, I've found the laws and patterns that exist within creation a wondrous testimony to the exquisite beauty of his handiwork.  If you share this passion, here are a few other articles on this same subject from the past couple of years. Enjoy! http://news.bbc.co.uk/...

Does Science provide evidence for the truths of faith?

From my earliest days, I have always been fascinated about the relationship between science and religion. I was taught that both disciplines taught the “truth” about creation so I always assumed that they would provide complimentary information and should not be viewed as contradictory bodies of knowledge. It is only natural then that I would look at the discoveries and developments of each in relationship to the other. It was with great anticipation then that I picked up David Bodanis’ book E=MC 2 :A Biography of the World's Greatest Equation . I was not disappointed. Energy as a concept was developed by Michael Farady when he posited that there existed invisible forces that accompanied magnetism and electricity. This began a line of research that demonstrated that this energy interacted with other elements and thus could be seen as an independent entity of its own. Antoine Lavoisier discovered that matter was a closed system, which is to say that matter can never be destroy...
