Would you like to share your current reading list?

I just finished Never Flinch- one of Stephen King’s Holly books. Was good.

Currently reading Knife- Salman Rushdie’s book about his attack.

I think Catch-22 is next. I’ve never read it.

I tried Dungeon Crawler Carl but gave up on about page 16.

My son gave me a book called How to Live with Objects. I tend to pick it up when I want something non-scrolling. It’s pretty good.

    Mining Energy in an Expanding Universe

    In principle, the expansion of the universe can be harnessed to provide energy. In a gedankenexperiment, energy is gained by connecting together widely separated bodies with strings. The tension and the energy generated are calculated for single strings. Mining energy in an expanding universe in this way raises unresolved issues concerning the conservation of energy. Apparently, the tethered-body experiment delivers “nascent” energy that previously did not exist in any identifiable and quantifiable form. It is argued that energy in a homogeneous and unbounded universe, in general, is not conserved on the cosmic scale.
