chooseanother: " Koan - have your read or know of "zero, the biography of a dangerous idea"? it is, of course, about zero. but goes into black holes & quantem & etc. excellent read, i thought. had no idea 'zero' was such a big deal." koan: no I have not read it, but have heard bits and pieces about it. I love that stuff and will get the book today. Thanks, I always search for that stuff. I have been reading a book called "Nothingness" by Henning Genz for years about particle physics and vacuum energy. I do not understand very much of it, but I plod on anyway-lol. I seldom understand much of what I read-lol. Vacuum energy may be what is increasing the speed of the galaxies. Vacuum energy gets sronger as the universe gets bigger. The thesis to seeing I have come to learn is "knowledge directed perception". As we learn, our picture of reality becomes broader and more complex. We cannot see what we do not understand. Muchas gracias-lol.
