Welcome to Physics Forum, Marleen. I have a similar educational background to you.We are all on a roller-coaster, somewhat, of the learning experience

Hi Janosh! Thank you for the welcome!
Just a thing that crossed my mind: Did you read the Enderverse books by Orson Scott Card? I'm currently reading his 'Shadow' series and they really rock. If you have a similar background, you might love them too. :-)

I've read Ender's Game and the immediate sequel trilogy, but that's it. I haven't read any of the others. Something I should probably get around to one day...
 
I'll look on the Lib. shelves. Thanks for the tip. I think reality can be expressed, to some extent at least, by the projection of one's "wathan". Philip Jose Farmer?
Riverworld?

Hi Janosh! I haven't read the Riverworld series and didn't hear of Philip Jose Farmer before, I've put the first book on my to read list.
 
I'm using the new PF APP, now. Ender...se! Less strain.
