Earth Signs & Theoretical Physics a Personal Connection

There is a certain amount of amazement that I am experiencing, with a personal connection underway between the passage (transit) of planets through the earth sign of Taurus underway now and my introduction to a wonderful book written by the prominent, American theoretical physicist, Dr. Michio Kaku

Dr Kaku's radio broadcasts are extremely cool and I have enjoyed the fascinating topics he covers but nothing was going to prepare me for reading one of his books!  It's astonishing that he has packed so many concepts into this book and in such a way that the conepts can be grasped.  It's even filled with a certain amount of insider historical gossip that was really surprising and unexpected to learn of in the middle of the night!

If the truth be know, we spent several nights together recently and it may be a late night again too with a midway reading of his, "Physics of the Impossible," an astonishing book, extremely rich with details of the concepts that are driving the science of theoretical physics for the past hundred years and further back in time to the distant future of the next hundred, thousand and millenial time periods. 

His books are New York Times bestsellers and I can certainly see why.  He discusses in layman's terms trends, concepts and underpinnings of our universe, its origins and what awaits us as a race going forward in a world where theories are upturned when one thinker with renewed insights into the findings of prior thinkers including Albert Einstein's theories are modified and qualified further. 

It is the greatest book I've read in a long, long time and I just think it's interesting that I am reading on this topic of physics as the planets cluster and move forward through the constellation and sign of the beautiful earth, Taurus. 

Because I am formerly an artist, currently an art photographer, the dynamics of the physical world offer an interesting foundation to the what the materials I deal with in the work that I do.  The manipulation of light and the nature of light are discussed. 

If you have any interest in the present day as well as past leading edge thinkers, their lives and times and contributions to the current and future trends in theoretical physics that are at the elemental base of our world and universe, Dr. Kaku's books will thrill you.  I look foward to reading every one I can get my hands on even though, it's hectic these days with little time for "pleasure" reading, pleasure reading it will be.
