The equisite details of cellular life are quite remarkable. Understanding how life continuously exists and reproduces in all parts of the world and the universe is beyond anything I could ever imagine. Nonetheless, I thoroughly enjoy spending time admiring the microscopic biology all around us; which is why I love David S. Goodsell’s book, The Machinery of Life. You can view many of the pictures here.
I have listed a few of the better movies/shows which I have watched in the past month.
Nova – Alien Planets Revealed – Documentary about the discoveries of the Kepler Planet Hunter Telescope
Journey of the Universe (2011) – Grand overview and insights into all of science. Quote from synopsis:
Using his skills as a masterful storyteller, Swimme connects such big picture issues as the birth of the cosmos 14 billion years ago to the invisible frontiers of the human genome as well as to our current impact on Earths evolutionary dynamics. Through his engaging and thoughtful observations audiences everywhere will discover the profound role we play in this intricate web of life.
It has been a long time since I read a book on astrophysics and I am now interested in Black Holes and Time Warps: Einstein’s Outrageous Legacy, by Kip S. Thorne. I hope this book will be thought provoking and fun to read.
One of the next books I will be reading is The Evolution of Physics by Albert Einstein and Leopold Infeld. Even though the book was published in the 1960’s, most people seem to be in agreement that the book is still a must read for anyone interested in physics and the mind of Einstein.
Max Tegmark’s book, Our Mathematical Universe, takes a deep look at the physical world and shows readers the importance of math throughout the universe. An interesting book regardless of your own personal beliefs.
