Romance and Quantum Physics

I've always wanted to know more about, and better understand, Quantum Physics, and this gripping listen was just the ticket. For me, there wasn't a dull second aboard the Light Ship. Afterward, I did some fact checking, and as far as I can tell, the science in the story is real and current. Physics and metaphysics dance effortlessly together in this beautifully written and narrated Novella. I only wish the journey had been longer, but the ending seems to promise more to come. I hope so!

More spiritual than I was expecting

I liked the take on this spiritual adaptation.
Set in space.
Just the two of them travelling through space at faster than the speed of light.
We meet an adaptation of Jesus, angels and the devil. Very interesting.

A little bit different but just as enjoyable

Maria Isabel Pita once again enlighten us with a story of faith but this time with a space/science blend. Still she opens your mind (and heart) to God and shwoing you there are many different ways to embrace him. The additon of this story taking place on a shapceship and then the addition of children made it more page turning /or listening a must to the end. Great job once again Maria Isabel!
