I have always been interested in the advance of science, an interest I still very much have today. I always found the basics physics fascinating and still do. I try to keep in touch with the latest development in the natural sciences, especially Theoretical Physics and the latest advances in Photonics and Electronics.
Here are a few examples at random; there are so many to chose from.
The coming of quantum computers is pretty exciting.
What about the ability of measuring how long it takes an electron to revolve around its nucleus? Pretty amazing, I would say.
If you are fascinated by space and time as I am, here is a fascinating example on that subject..
One of the main problems in science today is uniting General Relativity and quantum mechanics. There are different approaches to solve the problem.
One is called Superstring Theory which leads to M Theory.
Another one is called Quantum Loop.
A third one is called twistor theory.
Again another is Quantum Group Theory.
The one that I find really interesting is the Non-commutative geometry which is rich in many conceptual possibilities. One such possibility is the idea that the fundamental level of physical reality can be non-local. On that level there can be no time and no space in their usual sense. How cool is that? (contact me if you are curious about the details).
This is not the place to get over-excited about this subject, something I obviously could do.
I also developed a great interest in the philosophy of science, the philosophy of mathematics (what is the nature of), the whole question of religion in relation to natural sciences. I keep deepening my knowledge of theology and apologetics. I have no hesitation to mention that the author I admire the most in theology is the holy and genius man called Cardinal Ratzinger who became Pope Benedict XVI, 1927-2022
I have 62 books written by him and a few about him on my shelves.
