Blog Post #7 Even Though It Is Actually #8 (Part one so it won't be too long) Which Is Really Confuzing

     It seams very unfortunate for me to always read nonfiction books, because they do not have a clear journey in them. What I often find, and have learned to do, is speak chronologically, where you can treat every little discovery as a journey in its self. It makes picking the individual stories out a tad bit harder, but overall, an adventure begins to appear.
 
     Many of the books I have read begin with a history of science in it's entirety, which its self is a huge journey with a climax around the discovery of the Theory of Quantum Mechanics. As the old story goes, Einstein did not wish to accept Quantum Mechanics and simply ruled it out as a fluke. He did not accept the call to adventure and never made it out of the second stage of the journey... from this persepctive. Even though he didn't accept Quantum Mechanics, he single handedly, discovered a new set of laws regarding to the realitivistic effects on a body in motion that completely challenged Newton's views of the universe, where an event in one place can be measured to have happened simultainieously everywhere in the universe. From this persepctive he had already found his elixer and was starting on the road back when Quantum Mechanics stepped in and blocked his path.

     Now that that has been said, The book I am currently reading (as I gave up on The Stand, one, for it's length, and two, for it's extreemly boring but important beginning) is A Breif History of Time by Stephen Hawking.

      Most of the book is pretty strait forward (relativly speaking), and leaves me with little locate or cycle questions, Im sorry to do this, but I can't really think of any real integrate questions either. So, here goes my final question: Does Stephen Hawking have a hiden agenda of trying to disprove the existence of a god?
