Stuck in a Quantum Conundrum - A Silent Science Weekend

Almost Unschoolers will be silent this weekend, but we should be back to our bloggy selves by Monday. I made the mistake of downloading the audio version of Michio Kaku's Physic's of the Future: How Science Will Change Daily Life by the Year 2100...


...before finishing Brian Greene's The Hidden Reality: Parallel Universes and the Deep Laws of the Cosmos, mainly for me, but the children have been listening along, too.


Now, we're busy grappling with the fact, that all those Star Treks we've been watching might actually be more science, than fiction - well some of it anyway. I'll try to give a proper review once I've wrapped my mind around the books - but first I've got to run to the library and pick up one more title.


It's great to be a homeschooler.

Thanks so much for the book tips - they're on their way from our library. Our homeschooling has been enlivened so much by your posts, and now books for ME to read too - wonderful!
