a short history of nearly everything by bill bryson. i think my 'e', boldly, is going to be einstein's paper on relativity, 'on the elctrodynamics of moving bodies'.
the chapter that i'm reading is all about einstein and the development of the world of physics. i basically cannot wrap my mind around most of the ideas laid down without wanting to vomit. spacetime? it's bigger than my mind. it's blowing it away.
it's simultaneously the grossest and the best experience to literally feel your brain trying to reach out to grab onto an idea, like a kid grabbing some candy.
