Physical Science Carnival Coming Up

Blogcarnival.com is telling me that its database is "temporarily" down, so I suppose I should use some other method (like this page) to make note of this discussion. It began with Greg Egan pointing out a couple gaffes in New Scientist magazine, one of them a real howler on Bell's Inequality. I tried to expand on his points and wrote a post about them; much to my surprise, the features editor of New Scientist showed up, and we engaged in some good old-fashioned verbal sparring. It might be of interest to people who fret over science popularization.
