The Universe in a Single Atom---A Wonderful Book About the Convergence of Science and Spirituality

A biography of Bohm by David Peat
Notice how the title expands beyond the confines of the book!?
Rosalind Franklin
Her work made Watson and Crick's discovery of a detailed model for DNA possible. They caught an illicit glimpse of her x-ray crystallography picture of DNA that showed it was a double helix.
Rosalind Franklin's Infamous X-Ray Crystallography Picture at the core of Watson and Crick's Model
It really is beautiful in its own sort of way. It is ironic that the discovery of the century should have been grounded in the work of the woman who became only a historical footnote. I hope this new century will be different.
Madame Curie: A Happier Story
Golda Mier
This picture hangs in the WSRC. The inset is a picture of Annette Miller, an actor and a WSRC board member, playing Golda in an Off-Broadway play
Einstein: His Life and Universe by Walter Isaacson
Incorporates newly unsealed archival material
Did you know that we have an Einstein Memorial in Washington, DC?
It is on the ground of the National Academy of Science, close to the other national monuments.
The Interpretation of Nature and the Psyche by Jung/Pauli
Both articles in this book are extremely thought provoking and well worth the read.

Julia Child: My Life in France
I found it a bit slow getting into it and then couldn't put it down.

Amidst the twists and turns in the development of quantum theory, it is hard to sort out what has been proven, or at least firmly established, from what is conjecture. As I understand the current situation, Bell's theorem has put an end to Einstein's general approach, as well as to the de Broglie-Bohm kind of search for hidden variables, by proving (and I do mean proving in the mathematical sense) that no LOCAL hidden-variable theory can be consistent with the formalism of quantum theory (and hence bolstered by the vast wealth of experimental evidence supporting that formalism). However, it leaves open the possibility of a NONLOCAL hidden- variables approach, and in fact David Bohm's later work veered in that direction.
Thanks for sharing this post with us. It's really an amazing post. Keep posting the good work in future too.
