Dangerous Questions
Every year Edge.org (an online forum for the world's top scientists and thinkers) poses a question for its contributors to answer. This year's is "What is your dangerous idea?"
"The history of science is replete with discoveries that were considered socially, morally, or emotionally dangerous in their time; the Copernican and Darwinian revolutions are the most obvious. What is your dangerous idea? An idea you think about (not necessarily one you originated) that is dangerous not because it is assumed to be false, but because it might be true?"
There's also a recent article about mirror neurons by Ramachandran on the main page, for you neuroscience buffs.
This site is aaaaaaaawsome.
