The Hidden Reality: Parallel Universes and the Deep Laws of the Cosmos

On recent cruise to the Baltic, found Brian Greene's latest


in the ship's library. Good read, didn't quite finish, will get from our local library. One chapter was titled "Is This Science". String theory sounds fascinating but no test has been devised yet.

Am rereading "Consilience" again. Still very enlightening, pertinent, nearly 15 years after publication. Many of Wilson's conjectures about the direction of research and what would be found are on the mark. Wonderful prose, clear writing, a delight for those of us encumbered with a scientific education.

Just started "The Stuff of Thought" by S. Pinker as my next educating  read. Looks like another eye opener like his "How the Mind Works", and 'The Blank Slate"
