What has changed in physics since the beginning of PF?

In summary, since PF started, the biggest change in our understanding of physics has been the discovery that the Universe is not only expanding, but also accelerating. Other major changes include the reclassification of Pluto as a non-planet and the continued discussion of the solar neutrino problem. PF was founded in Spring of 2001, but the concept of the Universe's acceleration was being informally discussed before then.

When I first started posting on PF the big question in physics was whether the Universe would expand forever, or if gravity would eventually win and cause a big crush. Since then we've learned that not only is the Universe expanding, it is accelerating. This is the biggest change in what we know about physics that I can think of. What other major changes has there been since PF started?

I guess Pluto becoming a non planet is up there too.

Was PF around pre-1998?

That's what I was about to post. I first heard about the acceleration in "official" terms in March of 1999, and it was being discussed informally at least a year before that.

I hadn't heard about it until about 2003 and that's what's important

So you were probably still worrying about the solar neutrino problem ?
