i wish there was a “follow thread” option when you want to follow a conversation but dont have anything to say. following this thread 🤓
Yeah, me too
Check out Carlo Rovelli - «Helgoland», «The order of time».
nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s went down this rabbit-hole recently, I think. I remember bookmarking a note where he linked an intro website? Idk 🤷♂️
Way back in the day, I enjoyed Brian Greene’s “The Elegant Universe”. Don’t know if it stands the test of time though.
Schrödinger's "What is Life?" is more about biology from a physicist's perspective, but its written to be understood by laypeople and it imbued me with the impression of a deeper understanding and appreciation of both fields
also interested. here’s what’s llm said:
For a fun and informative read on quantum physics, you might consider the following popular-level books:
"Quantum Physics" by Alastair Rae
"The Ghost in the Atom" by Paul Davies
"What is Life?" by Erwin Schrödinger
"The Elegant Universe" by Brian Greene
These books are recommended for their engaging and accessible approach to quantum physics, making them suitable for a general audience. Enjoy your exploration of the fascinating world of quantum theory!
In Search of Schrodingers Cat is the banger you want.
This looks good. I do indeed want a "banger"
‘A Brief History of Time’ by Stephen Hawking.
Reading The beginning of infinity now, not too qf focused but fun and informative

Sean Carroll’s books are good. He has also a podcast.
Yeah I got a few.
