As 2010 comes to an end, I thought I’d share what are in my opinion the three biggest science stories of the year. “Bigness,” for our purposes, is not only about how the story impacted the scientific community but also how useful it is for science fiction writers.
This is only my opinion, and I welcome comments from anyone who disagrees with my choices. I’ll post #3 tomorrow, #2 the day after, and the #1 story of the year on Friday (New Year’s Eve).
