I find much talk on poetry sites of physics , M-theory and Prof Hawking's last obscure statement. Now, I have no idea whether they are correct, but I was struck by another professor at Cambridge, also physics, and one of his colleagues, who said he did not really understand it. But the poets did.I'm jumping into a discussion midstream that I probably have no business in. I am one of those that occasionally choose physics/science-related topics to write about. This is because I find them fascinating. I will never be more than an interested hobbyist, and would never claim to understand them.
I'm more Elegant Universe or Jo Ann Beard's Fourth State of Matter (intense short story btw) than I am a serious student of any of it. It mostly just gives me something to puzzle over.
