I must admit that the Grand Universal Theory with the ludicrous acronym GUT has crumpled my mind up like wadded up gum wrappers. By the end the talk of quarks and anti-quarks, annihilation, spin, colors, reversing time, etc, etc; it became quite a foreign language. I will definitely need to get something a little more remedial about those things if I want to understand. Moving on to black holes now.

I’m too slow and have lost my library check-out on this. Now I have to wait on hold till it is available again. May go pick up a physical copy so I can continue. I think learning will be less difficult too, with a book that I can turn pages on.

Force carrying particles? — and they have mass? I think I’m going to need to listen to this section again.
Ok, they are detectable as waves: photons.
I am definitely exercising my brain here. Interesting and some of it challenging to grasp.

More detailed explanation of some things than in the Brian Greene book. The concepts are somewhat difficult to grasp and require active thought. Interesting and stimulating.

Listening to this by Phoenix Audio books, read by Michael Jackson (no, not that Michael Jackson.) I was immediately turned off by it, because the reader’s accent and style seemed so “snooty” so much so that it feels like a caricature of a posh person. Also, it felt like it had been sped up, chipmunks style. After slowing it down to 75%, I gave it a chance and am now getting used to it. Content interesting!
