Here and There (2)




Richard Panek wrote a very lovely and Lively book on the cosmology, named 4% Universe: Dark Matter, dark Energy and the race to discovery of the rest of reality.
In this book, Panek explains what is problem of Dark Universe with a new method, telling the story of the astronomers and particle physicist, their interactions, thoughts and discoveries.
This approach display the lively look of science. Strongly recommended.

Brian Greene a string theorist in Coloumbia University will attend to the 7 April
episode of Comedy series The Big Bang Theory 
and have a discussion on his latest public book.
which is an American comedy Set in Pasadena, California the show is centered on five characters: two roommate Caltech geniuses, experimental physicist Leonard Hofstadter and theoretical physicist Sheldon Cooper; their neighbour across the hall Penny, an attractive blonde waitress and aspiring actress; and Leonard's and Sheldon's equally geeky and socially awkward co-workers and friends Howard Wolowitz, an Aerospace engineer and a non-PhD from JPL, and Rajesh Koothrappali, a particle astrophysicist postdoc also working at Caltech. The geekiness and intellect of the four guys are contrasted for comic effect with Penny's social skills and common sense.
