Damned depressing thread this one, but truthfully this is how I'm feeling lately. I too have books waiting to be read and the thrill of science hasn't been there for me lately.

We know so amazingly little about our condition and the universe we seem to exist in and the books seem to just confirm this.

SS - you're research the past years has been fascinating in an area that the MSS (main-stream scientists) won't go near. There are a few out there trying to break ground in these area's (my avatar defiantly not being one!) I keep coming back to the feeling that how everything is connected, both above and below (macro and micro (quantum)) is know to us somewhere deep inside, and I have a feeling that when we see - we'll say damn - it's all so simple and brilliant.

It seems to all come back to "purpose", what is it...? I'm think I'm going to have to try a different angle of approach on this - books and our current knowledge isn't working.
