My introduction to the forum:
I am retired: ex-physics teacher, ex-optics engineer, ex-nuclear sensors designer. I am particularly interested in: relativity, which I really never fully understood; cosmology - particularly the problem of origins, cosmic evolution, multiverses, holographic principal, etc.; biological evolution; and the nature of consciousness.
Lately, I have been wrestling with the ideas of physicists Julian Barbour ("The End of Time") vs. Lee Smolin vs. Leonard Susskind, and evolutionists Cairns-Smith ("Secrets of the Mind") and Richard Dawkins.
