Hi, Arkadiusz!
I do not think, that the example resulted by you on the unification of even and odd numbers is similar to the unification of the quantum theory and the general theory of relativity. All is much more complex also a problem not in good mathematics, and in excellent physics. Now there is no lack of good mathematicians and physicists. Are now necessary ingenious physics of a level of Einstein. They are not present and it is the reason of crisis in physics.
The online
Freedictionary has a page on Burkhard Heim - the subject of a recent article quoted on SOTT. Heim and his ideas have been discussed recently on many forums. In particular on a semi-private mailing list managed by Jack Sarfatti. In reply to a post by Genady Shipov (see

Dark energy the mysterious force that drives the acceleration of the universe changes over time, controversial new calculations suggest. If true, the work rules out Einstein's notion of a "cosmological constant" and suggests dark energy, which now repels space, once drew it together.

A Kiowa County field again serves as the site of a large meteorite.
Steve Arnold has spent the past two months searching the Kiowa County farmland, and Tuesday his hard work paid off.
Astronomers have discovered that the North Star has a second smaller star next to it. Researchers at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore found the star, which they called Polaris Ab, by using the orbiting Hubble Space Telescope.
"With Hubble, we've pulled the North Star's companion out of the shadows and into the spotlight," said Howard Bond, a member of the research team.

AN EXTRAORDINARY "hyperspace" engine that could make interstellar space travel a reality by flying into other dimensions is being investigated by the United States government.
The hypothetical device, which has been outlined in principle but is based on a controversial theory about the fabric of the universe, could potentially allow a spacecraft to travel to Mars in three hours and journey to a star 11 light years away in just 80 days, according to a report in today's New Scientist magazine.

Founded in 1882 by a distinguished group of Cambridge scholars, the Society for Psychical Research was the first of its kind to examine allegedly paranormal phenomena in a scientific and unbiased way. Today the Society continues with its aim of understanding events and abilities commonly described as 'psychic' or 'paranormal' by promoting and supporting important research in this area. Through the publication of scholarly reports and the organisation of educational activities, it acts as a forum for debate and promotes the dissemination of information about current developments in the field. The interdisciplinary nature of the Society's subject matter is reflected in the interests of its former presidents, which include philosophers Henry Sidgwick, C.D. Broad, Henri Bergson and H.H. Price; Prime Minister A.J. Balfour; psychologists William James and F.W.H. Myers; physicists Sir William Crookes, Sir Oliver Lodge and Lord Rayleigh; physiologist and Nobel Laureate Charles Richet; classicist Gilbert Murray; zoologist Sir Alister Hardy; and parapsychologist J.B.Rhine.

The number of samples held on the DNA database will rise to 4.25 million within two years, the Home Office says.
There are three million samples held at the moment, with some of the expansion due to law changes in 2001 and 2004.
Suspects arrested over any imprisonable offence can have their DNA held even if they are acquitted.
The database includes 139,463 people never charged or cautioned with an offence, separate Home Office figures obtained by the Liberal Democrats show.
Matches using newly-lawful DNA samples have been made to 88 murders, 45 attempted murders, 116 rapes and 62 sexual offences.
More than 198,000 samples are held that would have had to be destroyed under the old law.
In all, 7,500 of these have been matched to 10,000 offences.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Researchers at a Missouri university have identified the largest known prime number, officials said Tuesday.
The team at Central Missouri State University, led by associate dean Steven Boone and mathematics professor Curtis Cooper, found it in mid- December after programming 700 computers years ago. ...
The number that the team found is 9.1 million digits long.
Scientists disagree over how to account for the minute discrepancy between atomic and astronomical time.
Time marches on, but Earth is falling behind. The solution again this year is to add a "leap second" as 2006 arrives, so Earth can catch up with the atomic clocks that have defined time since their unerring accuracy trumped the heavens three decades ago.
This will be the first leap second in seven years, and its arrival will be closely watched by physicists and astronomers enmeshed in a prolonged debate over the future of time in a world increasingly dominated by technology.
Some experts think the leap second should be abolished because the periodic, but random, adjustment of time imposes unreasonable and perhaps dangerous disruptions on precision software applications including cell phones, air traffic control and power grids.
Others, however, argue that it would be expensive to adjust satellites, telescopes and other astronomical systems that are hard-wired for the leap second, and besides, people want their watches to be in sync with the heavens.
Nobody knows how disruptive the leap second really is, but researchers hope to find out soon.
