Thank you to all those who were responsive to my request. With these and a PM list, I have a lot to consider.

Thanks. I will check it out. I guess "new" is not necessary but I'd prefer it not be superseded or debunked by new discoveries.

I am not a scientist. I was trained in history, politics, philosophy, law, and I was an attorney by trade. I took Sagan's "Cosmos" in the 80s and read, and enjoyed Black Holes and Time Warps (Thorne 94), Theory of Everything (Hawking 2003), Brief History of Time (Hawking 1998) and a few...

I have some old Hawking and Thorne, et al books. I'm wondering if there are any good, new books written for lay people. I'm interested in light, energy, matter, time, entanglement, etc. I'm also curious about anything new from the Webb telescope. I prefer hard copies. Thanks for any leads.

Thanks for all the input. I went to the emergicare and they sent me to ER and they called the poison control hotline and sent me home. Hopefully I dodged a bullet, learned a lesson and won't get hammered too hard by the hospital. FYI: I didn't call the hot line myself because I thought they'd...

I am not a chemist or student. I made some stupid mistakes. I did not read directions. I used what I thought was compressed air to blow out a propane oven burner that I was cleaning. It contained difluoroethane CAS#75-37-6. When I went to re-light the pilot, there was an explosion. My glasses...

Thank you both. That is exactly what I was looking for.

Whereas a singularity is everything together, is there a name for a proposed end state after a Big Bang or something similar? Is there a name for that situation (hypothetical or not) where each elemental particle is so far from every other elemental particle that nothing affects anything...

I put my question in this forum because, apparently, the answer is yes? Things I don’t understand: There must be a law of physics which prevents a principle from being scaled up or down with simple equivalent offsets. It probably has something to do with the introduction of variables or...
