I’m still waiting for that book or article that weaves together all (or at least many) of the present-day mysteries in cosmology and modern physics. Something that gives you that “ah-ha”!! experience on a huge basis. At my age, “sex and drugs and rock-and-roll” just aren’t the big kick they used to be. But having an intellectual enlightenment can still be orgasmic (in a way). So, I’m looking for some hard-core science stuff. Something that can link together and make sense of ALL of the following:

• zero-point energy / virtual-particle quantum foam
• hyper-dimensional superstring theory
• the Heisenberg uncertainty principle
• dark energy / accelerating expansion of the universe
• quantum entanglement / zero-time interaction over a distance
• information and entropy as two sides of the same metaphysical coin
• does a black hole destroy information?
• entropy / information as proportionate to the surface of a black hole, not volume
• connection between entropy and nature of time; and thus information and time?
• does our 4 dimension universe project a 5D hologram where string theory operates?
• OR, is our 4 dimension universe a holographic projection from a 3D shape (one that is timeless, but contains time-related information) ?
• is time thus a holographic illusion and not really real?
• the preponderance of matter over anti-matter
• gravity waves and graviton particles
• how and why is “space” created via “inflation”

And there’s probably lots of other neat stuff to add to this list. So come on, who has the “big theory” that will make sense of all this? Maybe Radiolab, that PBS radio show about far-edge science, would have the guts to take it on.

(More about Radiolab shortly!)
