Ok, I've just been assigned some work for college and have been told to find a recent theory and explain about it in our own words. That by itself is no issue, but I have no info on where to find any.
Does anyone know anything that could help, due to google sucking large amounts of arse I can't find anything useful (official websites would be helpful).

"Recent theories"? Could you be more specific? I mean, there's lots of theories in lots of fields, most of them (relatively speaking) being rather recent.....

This is fairly recent.

All women are *****es until they let you ride them. Time slows down as you approach the moment when they let you hop around on top of them. And every couple kissing after you split deserves a kick to their collective faces by proxy?

The tutor asked for theories younger than those of Einstein, just not where to get them. Anything is okay, as long as it's to do with science and has been accepted as an official theory.
@Mobius: Cheers for that. It might just blow the puny minds of my minions classmates.
@Dekker: I...don't think I can use that one, but it's a good one none-the-less. :nervous:

Big Bang Theory?

Given the fact that there doesn't seem to be any sort of actual guidelines to this assignment... you could always do a theory about the Shivans

The theory that at the center of each galaxy is a supermassive black hole. There's also quantum electrodynamics and the BCS theory.
For unproven/incomplete theories there's Yang-Mills, String theory, loop quantum gravity and a bunch of others.

Wow, this is quite the supprising feedback. Considering what I asked, I was ready for someone to come up with a website and leave it at that.
You guys rock. I think....I think I may just cry... :(

Dark matter is a fairly new theory and might be interesting to go into. It's been around for a few decades but hasn't become prevalent among research or general public knowledge until more recently. You could explain observations of how galaxies are rotating so fast they should by all means be flying apart, rotation curves that show that there's missing mass beyond what we can see, etc.
Mobius' suggestion of black holes birthing baby universes is an awesome idea too! I'm not sure if it fully counts as a theory in your case though -- depends on how willing you are to take a mathematics/physics exercise over data/observations.

That is a hypothosis.

hy·poth·e·sisNoun/hīˈpäTHəsis/
1. A supposition or proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation.
2. A proposition made as a basis for reasoning, without any assumption of its truth.

The other question is, did he ever define what new was?

there is the Big Crunch theory and the Great Rip, and no God will not fart. Those theories speculate the end of the universe in a hundred billion years. Our universe is currently 13 or 15 billion years old.

Scientists theorize that certain types of worms began reproducing sexually because they adapted further ahead of parasites that way, according to the BBC.
Really, it's just a matter of looking at the news, under Science and Technology perhaps, and picking stuff out.

From a rigorous scientific standpoint, a theory is a hypothesis which has a very large body of evidence behind it, and which has made several testable and verified predictions (yes, I know most here already know this). From that perspective, in physics/astronomy, Big Bang theory, inflation, the Standard Model (particle physics), BCS theory (superconductors), quantum theory, and others all qualify, going off the "newer than GR" criterion. String theory does not, since there is no evidence for it over the Standard Model as of yet.
-
There are theories that say our universe started by 'bumping' into another one and this action created the Big Bang. They also suggest that this is a cycle, so imagine all of the universes that happened before us.
This is making my brain hurt. :P

I kind of like this theory (http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/3/19/) myself.

That was a pretty simple Theory, if I don't say so myself. :)
