Why Does E=MC2?

This week, I've been gathering more knowledge and experiences to inform the writing of my novel. My curious mind has always contemplated the workings of the universe but, for this particular project, I need to understand the science. They say that when you're on the right path, synchronicity happens, and it's perhaps no surprise then that on Tuesday night, I found myself at a lecture with Professor Brian Cox and Professor Jeff Forshaw at the launch of their book Why Does E=MC2?

Here I am sitting between the two genius minds.



On the left is Professor Jeff Forshaw and on the right Professor Brian Cox.

What a brilliant and inspiring lecture at the Museum of Science and Industry in the heart of Manchester, UK! And what a brilliant book! I can highly recommend it for making science accessible to all, but what touches me profoundly is the professors' passion for science, for physics, and for the beauty of our universe. You can buy the book here.

Here's another photo montage from the event ...



Also, here's a link to a trailer for `What Time is It?' - one of several BBC Horizon programmes that Brian Cox has made.

Brian and Jeff very kindly inscribed my copy of the book and wished me luck on the writing of my novel and I returned, head full of ideas and with a note-to-self to credit the professors in my novel's acknowledgements.

And so, on with the silent counting ... and the writing has begun in earnest. The story is weaving through my mind constantly and I am travelling with it now - moving without moving - and the characters are growing into reality.

In a short time to come, I may be able to share some teasers with you!

For now, here's a recent photo of me, where the air hangs veil-like, seemingly passing through into possible other dimensions.



Until next time, go see the stars and contemplate a while on the mysteries of life. Open your mind to creativity. As Einstein once said: Imagination is everything.

Wishing you much love and many magical moments. x
