Anything Interesting
I like to read different things that both teach me something and leave me with things to think about. I have found that a lot of my friends and people i know do not spend much time thinking about things, they just exist and never spend any time engaged in real thought or intelectual conversation. It's always about babes or how cut we all were last night and so on.
I'd like to see if anyone has anything interesting to read. So post your articles Can anything 'real' be infinite? I found this very hard to fully grasp but when you consider it, you may find your perseptions change. |

I spend too much time thinking, that's why I've gone insane...

Me and my friends spend too much time thinking, then talking about our ideas. Kinda nerdy really. Meh.

I've read Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time. It's an accessible, but still very interesting read about cosmology and the search for the Grand Unified Theory.
I've read quite a bit of popular fiction as well as a few papers on physics theories, and now I'm really not that interested at this moment of time. I'm a bit busy to start reading into endless thought experiments. Not that they're pointless, but there's a real world out there.

Edit: the first book addresses the question: if a microscopically small box could contain a cat, would that cat be alive, dead or both dead & alive
