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).
If you hit it and it bleeds, you can kill it. If you hit it and it doesn't bleed...You are obviously not hitting hard enough.

"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.....

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:

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. 
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

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.

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.
A small voice in my head tells me they are have followed us here in the Milky Way. They follow us until we are dead at their feet. We are nomands of the stars, no longer the race that was loved by the Great Elders. My name is Kyral and this is my story of survival.

There is no sanctuary for us, in this Universe. We will fight the Terror for one last time on this Shining World. May the Transcendent judge us kindly in the Life Stream.

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

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