Universe is fascinating

Recently, the youtube algorithm has proven fruitful, and it has sucessfully turned me into an information hogging goblin. This all started when I stumbled upon a podcast called startalk hosted by Neil deGrasse Tyson. While listening to this it reignited my lost appetite for science and physics. Refreshing on the topics like parallel universes, general and special relativity and string theory.
I remember during my freshman year of engineering we ~studied~ tried to study time dilation and length contraction, didn't go well obviously so I tried to understand it more deeply and eventually made peace with my limited understanding of the subject, like I get it but I really don't.
Some books I read on these subjects are -
- The Theory Of Everything by Stephen Hawking Buy on amazon
- The Grand Design by Stephen Hawking, Leonard Mlodinow Buy on amazon
- A Brief History Of Time by Stephen Hawking Buy on amazon
During my school days I also read a series called George's Secret Key to the Universe by Stephen Hawking, Lucy Hawking. Its a great children's book series and cannot recommend it enough.
Some fascinating topics in biology like flagellar motor do make me think if the universe is just recursive.
