A lasagna of science dough + poetry béchamel, with ladles of Underwood reveries. Basically a treat.
'Musicians experience a more regular sense of time than non-musicians. This is a bit of a mess, isn't it? No wonder we rely on mechanically regulated time so much to regularise of lives. But what cause this variability, not just between one person and another, but within individuals, between one activity and another?'

I'm mad about it so far (the writing/style). Also, space + poetry? Yes. So much yes.
"So now physicists are searching for a theory of quantum gravity, a reconciliation of quantum mechanics and general relativity, to accommodate both the infinitesimal scale of singularities, and the massive forces at play. In the meantime the singularity remains an enigma, an uncertainty, a little poem at the centre of everything."

I usu. avoid memoirs because bad ones bore me, and good ones make me cry like a fool (on the inside, but still). But I <3 his poems, so I can't not read this.
"Most of human experience involves sensorial foregrounding, and narrative imagination. Being is a creative act. We only have five apprehensive, sensory faculties to work with, and they are deployed with efficiency in mind, not extra-human, fundamental truth."
