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?
