                    Physicists, Stop the Churlishness

A KERFUFFLE has broken out between philosophy and physics. It began earlier

this spring when a philosopher (David Albert) gave a sharply negative review

in this paper to a book by a physicist (Lawrence Krauss) that purported to

solve, by purely scientific means, the mystery of the universe's existence.

The physicist responded to the review by calling the philosopher who wrote it

“moronic” and arguing that philosophy, unlike physics, makes no progress

and is rather boring, if not totally useless. And then the kerfuffle was

joined on both sides.

今天在看NYtimes時看到的一篇文章,有點抽象,有個小地方不太懂~

關於kerfuffle這個字的意思,我在下面的連結中有查到~ 大意是
不必要且不尋常的事(嗯...)
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/kerfuffle

moronic

重點來了,最後一句話的 was joined on both sides 這個地方要如何解釋呢~?
有上網查,但似乎沒結果~
在此請教各位英文先進,感恩~ ^^"
