3 win Nobel for showing universe is speeding up Three U.S.-born scientists won the Nobel Prize in physics Tuesday for discovering that the universe is expanding at an accelerating pace, a stunning revelation that suggests the cosmos could be headed for a colder, bleaker future, nearly devoid of light. In 1998, Saul Perlmutter, Brian Schmidt and Adam Riess presented findings that overturned the conventional idea that the expansion was slowing 13.7 billion years after the big bang. Their discovery raised a question: What is pushing the universe apart? Scientists have labeled it "dark energy," but nobody knows what it is. It's "an enigma, perhaps the greatest in physics today," the Nobel committee said. Perlmutter, 52, of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and University of California, Berkeley, will receive half the $1.5 million prize. The other half will go to Schmidt, 44, at the Australian National University in Weston Creek, Australia, and Riess, 41, an astronomy professor at Johns Hopkins University and Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore.

Seems like the only way to make the required changes will be thru this mechanism: "The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, *or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States*, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, " Article 5 Need to figure out how to channel that "Occupy" energy into a movement for Constitutional reform. I think the total gridlock situation facing Congress, to the detriment of the well being of the country forces the populace to resort to self help. The rules have to be changed.
