Skip to comments.A scientific leap, but without the faith
Posted on 02/08/2006 2:33:11 PM PST by bvw
The recent ruling in Dover, Pa., against the mention of intelligent design in biology textbooks was a small cultural victory for science - not because intelligent design posed a genuine threat to the theory of evolution, but because the decision showed the public that there is an important difference between science and pseudoscience.
In the wake of the trial, scientists are being criticized, even by their own colleagues, for working on anything that might be construed as pseudoscience - and string theory is drawing most of the heat. An intense controversy has erupted regarding the status of this potential "theory of everything," which aims to describe the whole universe in one fell swoop: space, time, and everything in it.
According to string theory, the fundamental building blocks of matter are not dimensionless point particles but tiny, one-dimensional strings. What appear to us as different kinds of particles are actually different vibrations of the same string. String theory might be able to reconcile Einstein's general relativity (the theory of gravity) with quantum mechanics (the theory of matter), but that's because in the theory, gravity turns out to be just another string vibration.
String theory requires extra dimensions of space that have never been detected, and it describes not one universe but a near infinity of them. Parallel universes, invisible dimensions... these fantastic concepts are not directly observable, so the critics cry: "It's not science!" They appeal to the philosopher Karl Popper, who said that what distinguishes science from pseudoscience is that science can be falsified through experiment. In Popper's scheme, string theory and intelligent design can be lumped into the same category of untestable claims, and critics can make allegations that string theory is no better than religion.
Case Western physicist Lawrence Krauss, whose latest book, Hiding in the Mirror, has stirred the controversy, feels that science's current struggle against political and religious agendas makes string theory a dangerous liability. As he writes in the journal Nature, the scientific status afforded to string theory "opens us up to otherwise avoidable attacks, particularly from those who would include religious ideas in high school science curricula."
But the real danger is not string theory's lack of experiments - it is the misrepresentation of what scientific theories are all about. Sure, falsifiability is a key component of the scientific method. But there is something that matters more: the power of explanation. History reveals that the structure of a theory itself - its internal mathematical consistency, its scope, and its beauty - often determines whether it is accepted as science.
For instance, it is commonly said that the 1919 observation of the bending of starlight around the sun was fantastic confirmation of Einstein's theory of general relativity. And in the public eye, it was. But in reality the results were far from conclusive - perhaps only 30 percent. Still, no one would have rejected the theory based on the outcome of that experiment. When Einstein was asked what he would have done had the experiment falsified his prediction, he replied, "I would feel sorry for the dear Lord. The theory is correct."
Why this confidence? Because the theory is breathtakingly beautiful. It takes phenomena once thought to be separate and unifies them to simplify the world, to pare it down, to inch closer to the core of reality. It enlightens and it explains. General relativity might eventually fail a test, but it will be replaced only by a better explanation.
In the Dover courtroom, proponents of intelligent design could be heard repeating their mantra: "Evolution is just a theory. It's not a fact." Scientists would then point out the categorical error: A theory is a framework to explain the facts. A theory is one level up from fact, so the mantra ought to go, "Evolution is not just a fact. It's a theory."
The theory of intelligent design is not only not falsifiable; there is simply no way to test it. But that is not the main reason it is not science. The main reason is, that ID does not actually explain anything. When we ask, "Why is the world the way it is?" it answers, "Because it was designed that way." The world is the way it is because it is that way. That might be the furthest from a useful, satisfactory explanation you can get.
String theory has problems, too. But while intelligent design is untestable in principle, string theory is just really hard. It is quite possible some clever scientist will devise a way to test it. Physicists have some ideas, but it is not going to be easy. In his new book The Cosmic Landscape: String Theory and the Illusion of Intelligent Design, string theory's inventor Leonard Susskind writes: "To divine the fundamental laws of nature that govern a world 16 orders of magnitude smaller than any microscope will ever see is a very tall order. It will take not only cleverness and perseverance, but it will also require tremendous quantities of chutzpah."
As Columbia University physicist Brian Greene says, "String theory is a work in progress. It is science because in its decades of development it has always adhered to the well-established methodology of theoretical physics. So far, we have not revealed enough about string theory to extract detailed predictions that are within reach of today's technology. If, however, we believed that this latter goal of testing string theory were permanently unattainable - as it most certainly is for ID as currently presented - we would no longer work on the theory. As of now, there is no way to tell how things will pan out. But that's what theoretical physics is all about: Devise theories, analyze them with rigorous mathematical tools, do your best to extract experimental predictions, and test them. No one can predict how long each individual step in this progression will take." So be patient!
In the meantime, mathematical consistency could provide its own sort of falsification. Mathematics is the language science uses to describe the world, and if the equations of a theory lead to nonsensical results, the theory is mathematically falsified. Intelligent design cannot be described mathematically, so, to use physicist Wolfgang Pauli's famous phrase, "it's not even wrong."
But the fate of string theory is unlikely to be decided by experiment. It will be decided when a physicist wakes up one day and slaps his forehead and yells, "Aha! Now it all makes sense!" If string theory can stitch together the facts of the world that do not quite fit, if it can explain why the universe is the way it is, no one will conjure the ghost of Popper. Yes, string theory is lacking in testable predictions, but more important, it is lacking some underlying principle to give it deep explanatory power. Still, scientists pursue it because they see paths of unification, shards of beauty, glimmers of ultimate reality. And that determination to explain the mysteries of the universe no matter how difficult the task, and the refusal to accept easy pseudo-explanations in place of truth, is a telltale sign of genuine science.
I'm not getting the connection you're making there. Please explain?
The theory of intelligent design is not only not falsifiable; there is simply no way to test it. But that is not the main reason it is not science. The main reason is, that ID does not actually explain anything. When we ask, "Why is the world the way it is?" it answers, "Because it was designed that way." The world is the way it is because it is that way. That might be the furthest from a useful, satisfactory explanation you can get.
String theory has problems, too. But while intelligent design is untestable in principle, string theory is just really hard. It is quite possible some clever scientist will devise a way to test it.
That's some major leage convoluted logic.
I still don't know why people aren't free to reach their own conclusions about our origins.
So, if I understand this correctly, it should be illegal to discuss STRING THEORY in school.
Because being such an estoric theory it is "grand and beautiful". (She can say "grandiose and beautiful" that because she's never done the math of it, btw.)
Are scientists still seeking a unifying theory?
If so, do they anticipate, in light of the mathematics, that it will be orderly or chaotic?
Is the theory of chaos itself one of order in chaos?
Does orderly necessarily equate to intelligent or is intelligent an idea we impose on it? (Of course all meaning is imposed by us.)
Does intelligence necessarily imply a creator?
If so, is that logical?
If not, what is all the hullabaloo about?
The author is absolutely wrong. Had the bending of starlight not been observed, the hypothesis would be junk.
I was not sure what to make of that either. It sort of begs an explanation in the essay.
He didn't invent string theory.
The author is in over her head. She's drowning.
Meanwhile, I've pinged some friends.
unlearner really knows these subjects well.
Gotta love looter guy!
The essayist writes:
But that is not the main reason it is not science. The main reason is, that ID does not actually explain anything. When we ask, "Why is the world the way it is?" it answers, "Because it was designed that way." The world is the way it is because it is that way. That might be the furthest from a useful, satisfactory explanation you can get.By saying that examining Design is not useful and not satisfactory the Inquirer diminishes the value of any Patented Design. For by that logic, "Who cares?" about any design. It is simply unuseful and unsatisfactory, so they claim, to study Design as design.
There is NO value in reverse engineering, none in copying and incorporating the best of other designs. Instead, we engineers and scientists should (1) throw random bits of this and that into a pile a wait for natural selection to evolve it into a useful product, and (2) develop estoric fantastic equations describing the dynamics of junk in such piles because such high mathematics is grandiose and beautiful.
What a program for progress they propose, what a way to pay the bills!
But, what if that explanation is true? Because it is "unsatisfactory", boring, etc. to some scientists, should it, therefore, simply be rejected out of hand? Is there nothing to be learned if what is being studied was designed?
Can an art student learn nothing from a Renoir or a Van Gough because the paintings were the result of conscious action? Shall I stop studying the C++ source code of those with far more experience than I because "It is the way it is because that's the way the programmer intended it"?
The venemous anti-ID'ers seem to be saying that the principle of ID spoils all the fun in science, so it should be banished outright. I simply don't get the basis of the hatred.
Clearly, this joker "author" is not a 'scientist'.
What a MAROON!
I find this remark in the article most telling:
But the real danger is not string theory's lack of experiments - it is the misrepresentation of what scientific theories are all about.
Indeed, it's like seeing through a filter rather than directly. The upshot is ever a reduction of reality to the capability of the filter -- and the filter is expressly designed to exclude certain things altogether, on principle. But those things are still in the world nonetheless! They still substantially contribute to the constitution of reality! And so they don't just go away when you refuse to look at them.
If Krauss were to have his way, I guess string theory would make the list of "forbidden areas" where science is not supposed to go -- joining ID, and heaven knows probably the next really interesting scientific paradigm to emerge.
Or so it seems to me.
Thanks so much for the "chuckle" at Krauss' expense, dear sister. This guy seems to be quite worried about "attacks" on the "purity" of methodological naturalism. His defense seems to be the refusal to admit any possibility of scientific theoretical development according to any new theory that does not fit the Procrustean bed of that tiresome ontological monism, "matter in all its motions is all that there is." Sure. And science doesn't use mathematics everyday. People like this are walking self-contradictions!
Well, my two-cents' worth anyhoot....
The bending could have been explained by refraction.
The sun has atmosphere, any light passing near the sun would pass through the atmosphere. Light is bent by refraction when it passes through the atmosphere.
No. The calculation was exact. There were roughly 15 stars. The results are that the deflection of the stars is inversely proportional to the angular separation from the center of the sun. That doesn't happen with refraction. The refractive index is close to one(space), since the stars are well out of the way of the sun's atmosphere. If they weren't, the sun's atmosphere would absorb the light and no atar would be seen.

Dear Anti-Racist Parent,
I have a problem. I have a beautiful 22-month-old daughter who is biracial. Since she has been born, my sister has gradually stopped spending time with me and my daughter and I have recently found out that she (and her boyfriend) are limiting their daughter's "exposure" to my biracial daughter. She stated that they are employing "out of sight out of mind" so if their daughter does not see my daughter then she will not be "exposed to the product of an interracial relationship." This has divided our entire family and will probably end our relationship. Any suggestions?
Tanya J.
From the Editor:
My heart goes out to you. I wish I could say that reactions like your sister's are a rarity, but a quick read over posts and comments at ARP sadly tell a different story.
It is terrible that your sister and her boyfriend hold bigoted views. And it is regrettable that your daughter may not have the opportunity to form close ties with her aunt and first cousin. I know it must hurt that a sibling would let racial hatred outweigh the family bond. Should you try to change your sister's mind? I imagine if it were my sister I couldn't help trying. I wouldn't want to see a family member constrained by racism, living life not knowing the joy of connecting with people of different races. Only you know whether listening to reason from you and other family members might eventually change your sister's views. People do learn and grow.
Your sister's development aside, though. She is an adult. But your daughter is a child and her well being is paramount. Children deserve to be protected from situations that damage self worth, attack racial identity, and reinforce racial biases and hatred. Unfortunately, that sometimes means protecting them from the people who should love them the most–family members. You don't say whether your sister and her boyfriend express their biases in front of your child, but I can't imagine that someone with such strong views is able to hide them well. At this time, I think you owe it to your daughter to limit her exposure to your sister and her boyfriend.
Your sister made a choice–a bad one–in what she feels is the best interest of her child. The irony is that it is your sister and her boyfriend that are the bigger threats to the emotional health of your child and theirs. You cannot shield your niece from her parents, but you can make sure your own child is not poisoned by this madness.
Do you have a dilemma for Anti-Racist Parent to tackle? Send it to email@example.com.

Last week, the Indiana Senate passed a bill making major changes to how the state punishes people convicted of crimes. Proponents of the bill say it brings uniformity to a set of laws that have been patched together over the past four decades. But some say the bill fails to accomplish what its designers set out to do, which is stem the trend toward overcrowding in the state's prison system. WFHB Assistant News Director Joe Crawford brings us this story on the revisions to the criminal code for today's WFHB feature exclusive.

2006 Subaru Forester X Premium 2.5 from North America
Subaru's reliability reputation is a facade
The catalytic converter was replaced at 27,000 miles. The repair was under warranty, but I had to wait 2 months for the part.
Then the dealer broke some other part, during the repair. My car was in the shop for a week while I was stuck driving a junky 10-year-old Legacy, which I barely fit into.
General Comments:
AWD is excellent.
I think the reliability reputation is a facade.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

You kiddin?
You are complaining about a catalytic converter going out at 27,000 and then claim it's an unreliable car because of it?
Get a life sir/maam.

I agree totally with the first comments, we have had several issues with our car (a $45,000 brand new car less than a year old) including the following;
1. Speedometer is 9km out - this is within 10% standards and so Subaru will not fix it
2. Suspension and Suspension coils broken at 30,000km with no off road driving
3. Cruise Control and Brake Lights needed replacing at 25,000km due to faulty switches
4. Diff which drives the car broken at 5,000km - we are still waiting for the parts to be ordered a month later as they are on backorder (obviously a common problem)
This is in a brand new car!
We are not impressed with the car (despite being nice to drive - when it is working), nor or we impressed with the customer service and will not being buying a Subaru again.

Be happy your problems were only limited to a defective Cat Converter. My 05 Forester's 2.5L engine stopped dead with a huge puff of smoke and roar on the Interstate at 47,000 miles. Problem was coolant pressure related. The instrument panel oil and temp warning lamps never came on. Turns out the head gasket cut loose on the #3 cylinder and all the oil & coolant blew out at 65MPH thus burning up the engine in seconds. Subaru says it's not covered. All of the routine maintenance schedules were followed at the dealer. Thankfully it was a lease car and not owned. This piece of garbage Subaru has since been replaced with a Toyota which runs and drives far better. Stay away from Subaru! Their 2.5L engines are time bombs.
27th Oct 2008, 23:57
I would never dispute that the car may have no issues, but I must say my experience has never been as bad as those stated above me. I've had three Subaru Forester's in the last 15 years, my second was smashed in an accident, after two years of service, with a drunk which left me and three passengers without a scratch while the driver of the Camry wasn't as lucky, but she is fine.
I've never had any major issues with any of the my Foresters, they have all performed tremendously well all year round and handle better than any rental I've ever had in Canadian winters. I can say that my cars have been very reliable and very safe, which is key, and handles great in all conditions.
1st Jan 2010, 16:08
Our engine failed at 118000. We took great care of the car, and have all the service records to prove it. I too think the supposed reliability of Subaru's is a facade.

Apple's Japan unit will replace any iPod nano portable music players that overheat, it said in an online statement, improving an earlier offer to replace only their faulty batteries.
The concession yesterday came after Japan's trade ministry put the world's largest technology company under scrutiny, ordering it to publish an "easy to understand" statement on its website explaining how users of the devices could receive replacement batteries and obtain advice.
The first generation models, sold between September 2005 and December 2006, have been responsible for around 60 incidents of overheating in Japan, including four cases of minor burns, according to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI).
Apple described the incidents as "very rare" and has blamed the problem on a single battery supplier, without identifying the maker.
A spokesman for the US company in Tokyo on Wednesday declined to comment on the number of the devices sold in Japan or on the spat with the Japanese government.
"We've worked closely with METI to make sure first-generation iPod nano customers who are concerned with their battery have the latest information," US-based spokesman Tom Neumayr had said on August 6.
METI said it was "truly regrettable" that it took Apple until Sunday to report around 30 of the incidents of overheating.

May 18th, 2016 Fujitsu has launched a new global online film targeting
business customers showing how it harnesses data to digitally transform
people's lives and businesses.
The film, created by mcgarrybowen and Found Studio, aims to reinforce
Fujitsu's position as a world leader in the processing, storage and analysis of
Big Data and bring to life the brand's 'digital transformation' offering.
It was shot using ground-breaking projection mapping techniques and
technology to transform a white set into a series of live-action scenarios.
The different scenarios show the brand helping parents look after their
children, allowing retailers to give customers exactly what they want, helping
farmers increase productivity, keeping workers safe anywhere on earth and
making cities work more fluidly than ever thought possible.
Using the tagline "Shaping tomorrow with you", it will be premiered at the
Fujitsu Forum in Tokyo on Wednesday, May 18th, and will be supported by a
worldwide online business-to- business campaign later this year.
The film seamlessly transitions through a different environments and
landscapes, incorporating a multitude of characters and locations as well as
visual effects, animation and information graphics - all within the confines of a
32ft-square white cube.
Shot live and in-camera and without the use of any post production, it uses a
mixture of front and back projections, 3D projection mapping and a state-of-
the-art holographic projection technique using Holo-Gauze, a virtually
transparent projection gauze that can create the effect of 3D holograms. This
technique was used this to create all the information graphics in the film, live
and in-camera.
Jane Briers and Dave Cornmell, Creative Directors at mcgarrybowen London,
said: "We had a real opportunity to make the medium of projections part of
the message itself, and bring to life the theme of 'digital transformation' in a
way that had never been attempted before. We found the perfect partners in
Found Studio to help us with an enormously complex shoot."
Mike Sharpe, Director at Found Studio, said: "These are exactly the sort of
exciting multi-faceted projects that we love to get stuck into at Found. The
guys at mcgarrybowen came up with a brilliant concept that allowed us to
work across our favourite three disciplines - animation, direction and
technology - to make a visually striking film in a very unconventional way."

Enter Lepidus, Mecaenas, and Agrippa
Trouble yourselves no further: pray you, hasten
Your generals after.
Sir, Mark Antony
Will e'en but kiss Octavia, and we'll follow.
Till I shall see you in your soldier's dress,
Which will become you both, farewell.
We shall,
As I conceive the journey, be at the Mount
Before you, Lepidus.
Your way is shorter;
My purposes do draw me much about:
You'll win two days upon me.
Sir, good success!

Representative Todd Rokita (IN-4) today voted for a bill that would repeal mandatory funding provided by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Rokita released the following statement:
"With passage of ObamaCare, the Secretary of Health and Human Services gained a troubling amount of authority over America's health care system and taxpayer dollars. In other words, another unelected bureaucrat was put in control of billions of tax dollars with little to no required oversight by Congress. At a time of record government red ink, the best thing we can do is protect precious taxpayer resources and this bill does just that."
H.R. 1213 repeals provisions appropriating funds to the Secretary of Health and Human Services to award grants to states for activities related to establishing an American Health Benefit Exchange. H.R. 1213 passed the House of Representatives on May 3, 2011, by a vote of 238-183.

The House Science, Space, and Technology Committee sent a letter to the head of the National Science Foundation (NSF) on Monday, demanding answers about the origins of the nearly $1 million taxpayer-funded project to track "misinformation" on Twitter.
The Truthy project, being conducted by researchers at Indiana University, is under investigation for targeting political commentary on Twitter. The project monitors "suspicious memes," "false and misleading ideas," and "hate speech," with a goal of one day being able to automatically detect false rumors on the social media platform.
The web service has been used to track tweets using hashtags such as #tcot (Top Conservatives on Twitter), and was successful in getting accounts associated with conservatives suspended, according to a 2012 book co-authored by the project's lead researcher, Filippo Menczer, a professor of Informatics and Computer Science at Indiana University.
Menczer has also said that Truthy monitored tweets using #p2 (Progressive 2.0), but did not discuss any examples of getting liberal accounts suspended in his book.
"The Committee and taxpayers deserve to know how NSF decided to award a large grant for a project that proposed to develop standards for online political speech and to apply those standards through development of a website that targeted conservative political comments," wrote Chairman Lamar Smith (R., Texas) in a letter to NSF Director France Cordova.
"While some have argued that Truthy could be used to better understand things like disaster communication or to assist law enforcement, instead it appears Truthy focused on examples of 'false and misleading ideas, hate speech, and subversive propaganda' communicated by conservative groups," he said.
Smith is asking for the original application for the study, and "every internal and external e-mail, letter, memorandum, record, note, text message or other document" sent or received by the NSF about Truthy since the study began in 2011.
Smith's letter references a publication co-written by Menczer which explains how the project was used to track tweets before the 2010-midterm elections.
In "Abuse of Social Media and Political Manipulation," a chapter for the book The Death of the Internet, released in 2012, Menczer writes how his team successfully had Twitter accounts suspended.
"With the exploding popularity of online social networks and microblogging platforms, social media have become the turf on which battles of opinion are fought," the chapter begins. "This section discusses a particularly insidious type of abuse of social media, aimed at manipulation of political discourse online."
Truthy tracked up to 8 million tweets per day in the run up to the 2010 midterms, and stored 600,000 political tweets in their database, contrary to Menczer's claim that Truthy does not "have a database." This section of the Truthy website was recently deleted, following an editorial by FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai warning the project could be misused.
"The streams provided our system with up to 8 million tweets per day during the course of the study," the paper said. "These were scanned in real time by our system. In total, our analysis considered over 305 million tweets collected from September 14 until October 27, 2010."
"Of these, 1.2 million contained one or more of our political keywords; detection of interesting memes further reduced this set to 600,000 tweets actually entered in our database for analysis," the paper added.
"We don't have a database," Menczer said when attacking the Washington Free Beacon's initial story on Truthy.
The database was used to identify "several Truthy memes, resulting in many of the accounts involved being suspended by Twitter," the chapter said.
Truthy was able to suspend the account of C. Steven Tucker, a health insurance broker, who often used the hashtag "American Patriots," or #ampat, from his two Twitter accounts.
"This activity generated traffic around this hashtag and gave the impression that more people were tweeting about it," the chapter said. "These two accounts had generated a total of over 41,000 tweets."
Another account, @PeaceKaren_25, was suspended after tweeting in support of Speaker of the House John Boehner (R., Ohio) over 10,000 times in four months. "A separate colluding account @HopeMarie_25 retweeted all the tweets generated by @PeaceKaren_25 supporting the same candidates and boosting the same websites," the paper said.
Smith said it is troubling that the project was able to delete and suspend Twitter accounts.
"Whether by amazing coincidence or on purpose, it appears that several social media accounts highlighted by Truthy were subsequently terminated by the owners of the social media platforms, effectively muzzling the political free speech of the targeted individuals and groups," he said. "In presenting and publishing the findings of their work, the Truthy research team proudly described how the web service targeted conservative social media messages. Their presentations featured examples of what they found to be online political speech 'abuses' by supporters of these groups."
A spokesman for Indiana University said that they are "aware of the letter but have no comment."

Remember When was a great cabin to stay for a weekend getaway. The cabin was clean, comfortable, and had all the amenities anyone could ask for. The view was great, and the location was close to everything. There couldn't have been nicer people to book with. At the check in we were facilitated by 2 individuals whom were just as nice. If you're looking for a place to stay a weekend or a week I would highly recommend Colonial Properties to book with.
Once again every experience with Colonial Properties is outstanding. Everyone is professional and eager to assist in your needs. Thank you for maintaining your level of professionalism year after year.
It was like walking into a dream. The pictures online are great, but in person it is even better.
Colonial Properties went out of their way to ensure everything was clean and in perfect shape for our use. The cabin was excellent and beautiful plus there was a perfect view of the mountains. We liked the cabin being off the road with plenty of parking even though we only had one car. We hope to return in the future.
Our stay in Remeber When was perfect! This cabin was quaint, quiet, and the view was spectacular! Such a sweet cabin
to celebrate our 31st wedding anniversary in! We want to rent this lovely cabin again, real soon!
Remember When was the cleanest cabin we have stayed in. It is in a good location. The price was right. We really enjoyed the fireplaces and the privacy. Everything was great!
We were there for our 25th wedding anniversary, June 14th. Had a wonderful time. We loved the peacefulness of the cabin. We loved how private it was. We enjoyed ourselves very much. Hope we can spend more anniversaries there.
Vacation was wonderful - highly recommend Remember When - very isolated, but close to town!
Our stay with Colonial Properties was a true pleasure. Their level of professionalism was outstanding.
My husband and I went there for a weekend getaway, and we had a wonderful time just relaxing and doing what we wanted. The cabin was wonderful......had everything we wanted. We will definitely be back and stay with you all again. Thanks for the wonderful weekend in the mountains!!
We were very pleased with the Remember When. It was everything that we were told it would be. We enjoyed the privacy. We would definitely like to return. Remember When is located about 15 minutes to anything that we wanted to do. When we return, we will use the shuttles and trolleys more.
I would have never thought that this place would be so great. We got married in the cabin and everything was so beautiful. The cabin was very clean and we loved it. We plan to return every year!
This was our first time to the Pigeon Forge area. It was absolutely amazing. We will certainly come back in the near future.
IT WAS GREAT. If you want a nice view or privacy, this is the place. I can't say enough, we will definitely come back. I am already counting the days until next year, thanks for the memories and a wonderful time.
Remember When is in a great location, close to all the action and still has a view and felt like you were away from it all. Loved the fireplace and the big bed. Also enjoyed the hot tub while listening to the train blow it's whistle from Dollywood. This cabin was perfect for my husband and I.
This was our second visit to Remember When, we had a wonderfully relaxing vacation. We will visit again!!!
"Remember When" is the best vacation rental in the Smokies!! Beautiful cabin, excellent location, staff at Colonial Properties were great to work with, very accommodating. The cabin is beautifully decorated with high quality furnishings. I'll always remember the "WOW" factor when seeing the cabin for the first time. Absolutely hated to leave but know that we'll be returning soon and we'll "Remember When". Thanks for sharing your wonderful cabin with us.
We had the pleasure of staying in the "Remember When" cabin in mid-August. Every evening, the cabin pleasantly welcomed us back with its tranquil atmosphere, wooded setting, pool table and outside hot tub on the back porch! All of the amenities of this wonderful little cabin rejuvenated our tired minds and muscles and prepared us for the next days adventures.
It was great just didn't last long enough. There is just too much to do in a couple of days.
This was our first stay at Remember When and we loved it. Can't wait to visit again.
"Remember When" is beautiful. We enjoyed staying in it very much. We really enjoyed the back porch and listening to the train from Dollywood. Late afternoons and early mornings were wonderful.
This was our 17th wedding anniversary weekend and was probably our seventh or eighth time renting from Colonial Properties. It was our best visit by far. The cabin was located high on the mountain with a lot of privacy. The decor of the cabin was just beautiful and the bed was so comfortable. We enjoyed the leather couch with the two reclining ends. The jacuzzi and the hot tub were so relaxing. It was so wonderful to wake up to the gorgeous scenery which the good Lord provided. The snow on the mountain top with the sun shining on it was breathtaking. For two people, I'd say this is the very best cabin available in the Great Smokey Mountains. We will definitely be staying here again this summer and again in February.
My husband and I were recently married, and we wanted to take a vacation to get away for a few days. After looking around on the internet, I found your website and started viewing different cabins. When I came across "Remember When," I knew it was the one for us. It was more than we had expected it to be. We were very satisfied with the cabin. We really enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub and enjoying the view. We hope to visit again sometime.
Wonderful experience. It was well kept, clean. Just a beautiful cabin and we had a great time. It was a lot more then expected.
Between us, my husband and I have visited the mountains four times and stayed in cabins each time. I visited twice for a "girls trip". All the cabins we have stayed at in the past have been larger than Remember When but none have been as wonderful. Remember When provided us with all we needed and then some for our stay. We enjoyed the fireplace, the hot tub and the view. This would be a wonderful cabin for honeymooners and also for people such as us who have been married 32 years. Colonial Properties does an exceptional job of making sure their guests are happy. We had a situation with yellow jackets in the cabin and they sent Orkin out to immediately treat. We will definitely choose Colonial Properties again and also would love to stay in Remember When again.
This is our second stay with you and both times have been great. This might be our favorite yet. See you next time.
This is our second stay at Remember When...it is the perfect cabin for two! From the great kitchen, comfy bed to the jacuzzi and hot tub...there is nothing more we could want. Each time we have stayed we have not left the cabin until it was time to go home...which, by the way, is the only thing we could say bad about Remember When, is having to leave! Thanks so much to Colonial Properties for making the check-in/out so smooth...we are already planning our next trip.
The cabin was beautiful and very clean. We enjoyed the fireplace as well as the outdoor hot tub. It was a great place to stay and we will use Colonial Properties for future Smoky Mountain stays. Thank you!
We loved our stay at Remember When. This weekend has been the best ever and was very much needed. Thank you Colonial Properties for your hospitality.

PowerSnap image sharing application
PowerSnap 2.0 image sharing aplication :
A free, downloadable application that enables users to automate photo sharing and organize digital photos, was introduced by PowerSnap Inc. "Until now, photographers - including folks taking pictures on their cell phones - had to juggle numerous different environments and passwords just to send, receive and manage their photos," says Santosh Jayaram, founder and CEO of PowerSnap. "There's no easy way to manage and share the mountains of unorganized photographs buried in people's computers. "Now, for the first time, PowerSnap puts the user's entire photo experience all in one place. It creates the first communities based on images, rather than words."
Online digital photo sharing
With the rise of digital photography, millions of people are taking billions of photographs and sharing them through the Internet. These pictures are stored on computers and shared using email or online photo sites, such as Flickr Yahoo! Photos, and Shutterfly. PowerSnap 2.0 lets users automate photo sharing and enables digital photo organization so users can find all their pictures within a single easy-to-use application. For the first time users can manage all their photographs, automatically sending and receiving pictures in near real-time, and synchronize their uploaded albums with their desktop instead of struggling with multiple sites and applications.
PowerSnap 2.0 - Image sharing
PowerSnap not only creates the first true peer-to-peer network for photo sharing, but also offers a seamless, intuitive experience, comparable to sending email amongst different email providers - an experience that until now was not possible with digital photographs. PowerSnap works in conjunction with Flickr, a leading photosite owned by Yahoo. PowerSnap is extending its connected vision to other photosites, currently integrating with Yahoo Photos, AOL Pictures, Sony Imagestation, Webshots, Buzznet and Smugmug. PowerSnap plans to announce further partnerships in the coming weeks. A Macintosh version of PowerSnap is expected this Summer.
PowerSnap 2.0 image & Photo sharing - Applications
• A new mom doesn't have the time to answer every request for pictures of the new baby. She sends everyone free subscriptions to her PowerSnap photos within the album "Molly". Now, every time she takes a new picture of Molly, she loads it onto her computer and it's automatically sent out to every subscriber.
• A teenager sits in the back of her mom's SUV, dreading another endless shopping trip. She makes a face and takes a picture of herself on her cellphone, tagged "Ivana," and "shopping stinks" and emails it to Flickr. All her friends, who have subscribed to her pictures tagged "Ivana" instantly get the photo in their PowerSnap in-box.
PowerSnap 2.0 image sharing application - Features
• Real-time notification to subscribers when new photos are uploaded
• Mass tagging, captioning and commenting.
• Sophisticated filtering to set and determine permissions on photos.
• Automated timeline organization and viewing of all photographs on file.
• Open platform for other photosites, besides Flickr, to allow automated photo sharing.
