Moving Beyond String Theory

This may be of little interest if, when you hear or read the words "string theory", all you can come up with is something to do with kittens, scissors or knots. If, on the other hand, your ears prick up but you aren't a scientist/physicist, then this article may be for you; containing as it does a quick guide to the alternative theories aiming to give a GUT. I quite liked the end paragraph, commenting on the possibility that the unioverse may actually have two 'manuals' according to scale.
"science is littered with present-day commonplaces that were once radical and courageous acts of unification: Copernicus said the Earth and the other planets were not two separate things but one. Giordano Bruno said the sun and the stars were not two separate things but one. Isaac Newton said the force that makes an apple fall from a tree is the same force that moves the planets through the heavens.
Skeptics of previous scientific grand unification efforts are often, though certainly not always, proved to have been lacking only in imagination."
