Have you ever wanted to understand the universe? Once that desire burns away at your soul – really burns – there’s no going back. That’s why some people dedicate their lives to physics. Or to philosophy. Or to Buddhism. Or to mathematics. They are all searching for answers. I am not saying they are all ultimately following the same path. I know which I think is the best bet. But none is able to satisfy everybody.
I chose physics as my path to enlightenment. Some prefer the teachings of Jesus. Others go for Krishna or Kabbalah. My friend Jerome Cardano – indulge me, for we have spent a lot of time together – went with astrology. He didn’t ever really trust it, though. Jerome used to worry at astrology, to work it hard, to ask difficult questions of it. I’m not convinced everyone does the same even with physics, a predicament that provides much of the reason for this book.
