Welcome to my First Blog.
My state of mind while attempting this first blog is similar to my every first conscious effort. There is some mystery, trepidation, excitement, nervousness and just do it impulse. There is confusion around why I should do this, what will I gain (rational mind).
As I think about a topic for my first Blog. I am thinking about my experiences over past few days, what have been most frequent thoughts in last couple of days. As it comes to pass I have been wondering about the laws governing the universe. Why am i wondering, Children wonder. But now that I think it is beautiful feeling to wonder. I have been always been reading about Universe and various theories of Cosmology, Quantum Physics, Evolution(Darwin).
Mostly it is through my reading of books on these subjects. As it stands for last 3 weeks I have been reading the following 2 books
Parallel Worlds by Michio Kaku
The Road to Reality - A complete guide to the laws of the universe - Roger Penrose
Both books deal with Physics of very small(Quantum world) to Physics of very large(Cosmology). The first book 'Paralell worlds' is like fast paced thriller - A la Brief history of Time(Stephen Hawkins), or Bourne Identity (Robert Ludlum).
The second book 'Road to Reality' is like a Magnum opus, War and Peace (Leo Tolstoy) or Les Miserables (Victor Hugo) every character is defned in detail before the interactions between characters are presented and conclusions drawn.
I have completed my first book and am in process of reading the second.
I will share some the nuggets from my readings in the blog going forward.
