	String Theory, Vol. 1 : An Introduction to the Bosonic String (Cambridge Monographs on...
		Although Polchinski's books lack physical insights, he more than makes up for them by completeness of the material, mathematical rigor and helpful exercises.
		The two volumes introduce many important recent developments in string theory not covered in Green, Schwarz & Witten's Superstring text such as D-branes, dualities, etc. However, I found GSW's treatment of basic materials easier to follow because the authors try to explain things intuitively.
		Although many physical insight in Polchinski's book is sacrificed, it makes up for them through completeness and mathematical rigor.

		This happens in all fields, you will find that modern quantum mechanics books are much more readable than volumes written by the founders of the theory.
		However, I highly recommend that you first get Di Francesco's conformal field theory and read chapters 3-7, 10 and 12 to get a better feel for stuff like state-operator mappings, Virasoro algebra, OPE's, etc. Although Polchinski claims the books are pretty much self-contained, I would say QFT (probably around lvl of 1st vol.
		Lastly, the book suffers a little from numerous typos (atleast the 1st edition) but corrections are updated frequently on a ucsb website address.

		Licia Verde (Pennsylvania) reviewed the implications for cosmology of the first year WMAP data, and promised that the second year data would be available "soon".
		Joseph Polchinski (UCSB) spoke about recent work that shows that certain superstrings populating the early universe could expand to cosmic scales today and be a significant source of gravitational waves.
		The first of the Friday morning lectures was given by Lars Bildsten (KITP, UCSB), who spoke about recent advances in relativistic astrophysics (sensitive X-ray astronomy; solar fl hole masses; data from PSR 0737-3039) and mentioned the consequent challenges for theorists and the gravitational wave detection community.

		Also, the problems given in the book are valuable for a further understanding.

	Remote Viewing and Consciousness Entanglement
		The onset of non-linear behavior is seen in other areas of physics, e.g., laser light in certain media, and, he suggested, might also be present but unnoticed in quantum mechanics.
		Two years after Weinberg's non-linear QM theory was published, Joseph Polchinski published a paper demonstrating that...
		Through the new non-linear effects, separated measurements on the same quantum system begin to 'talk' to each other and faster-than-light and/or backward-in-time signaling becomes possible.
