Of course, also today I received from Amazon an intriguing book that 2ndreconmarine suggested I read: Timothy Ferris' The Whole Shebang: A State-of-the-Universe(s) Report (1997).

Isn't Amazon like magic??? Instant gratification. (grin)

Let me know what you think of Ferris' book. We can discuss after you have finnished, if you wish.

It was published in 1997. In the last few years the field has moved forward incredibly. The most significant discovery is that the expansion of the universe is accelerating. That just blows my mind.

Hold that thought, 2ndreconmarine! I've been wondering about that, too.

I will most likely want to touch bases with you, after I've read Ferris' book. Fortunately, I have a long holiday weekend ahead.... :^)

Thanks so much for writing -- and for the book recommendation!
