But having an intellectual enlightenment can still be orgasmic (in a way).  So, I&#8217;m looking for some hard-core science stuff.  Something that can link together and make sense of ALL of the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>zero-point energy \/ virtual-particle quantum foam<\/li>\n<li>hyper-dimensional superstring theory<\/li>\n<li>the Heisenberg uncertainty principle<\/li>\n<li>dark energy \/ accelerating expansion of the universe<\/li>\n<li>quantum entanglement \/ zero-time interaction over a distance<\/li>\n<li>information and entropy as two sides of the same metaphysical coin<\/li>\n<li>does a black hole destroy information?<\/li>\n<li>entropy \/ information as proportionate to the surface of a black hole, not volume<\/li>\n<li>connection between entropy and nature of time; and thus information and time?<\/li>\n<li>does our 4 dimension universe project a 5D hologram where string theory operates?<\/li>\n<li>OR, is our 4 dimension universe a holographic projection from a 3D shape (one that is timeless, but contains time-related information) ?<\/li>\n<li>is time thus a holographic illusion and not really real?<\/li>\n<li>the preponderance of matter over anti-matter<\/li>\n<li>gravity waves and graviton particles<\/li>\n<li>how and why is \u201cspace\u201d created via &#8220;inflation&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And there&#8217;s probably lots of other neat stuff to add to this list.  So come on, who has the \u201cbig theory\u201d that will make sense of all this?  Maybe <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wnyc.org\/shows\/radiolab\/\" target=\"_blank\">Radiolab<\/a>, that PBS radio show about far-edge science, would have the guts to take it on.  <\/p>\n<p>(More about Radiolab shortly!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;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.
