There are 2 books that have been mentioned here before. Both are offbeat quantium physics things. one is "Schrodinger's Cat"
and the other is something really bizzar I can't remember.
So I'd really like to remember the other title, and ask if the Cat book is the Trilogy one I've seen or is it a different one.
I guess authors names would help.
Thanks Doc.
Figured I'd do this in the pub so others can hear about the books too.
 
John Gribbon. Kinda "Physics Lite" but interesting nonetheless. He did do a "series" of books.

Another is: "Conversations with the Sphinx - Paradoxes in Physics", Etienne Klein. Great read.

ANY of R. Feynman's books are GREAT, too. And "The First Three Minutes" by Steven Weinberg. That one is a bit outdated but a really good start to get up to speed for what's considered current.

Ya lookin' to swap wrenchin' for cosmology Ben? :jester:


<span style="font-style: italic">EDIT: And if ya want a more Zen approach: "The Dancing Woo-Li Masters" is fun. </span>
 
or maybe "Goedel Escher Bach"?

Remember: if the cat is hidden inside the box, it's still alive *and* it's dead already!
 
Also great!

Now I gotta go thru a bunch of boxed books and find that again. Been over a decade IIRC.
 
The Dancing Woo Li Masters! that's the one I was trying to think of.
Nah.. I'm not in for for a job change, I just like to keep my horizions broad. That And I have a couple of college age friends that are math geeks, and I think they'd really like some of those books too.
Thanks. I'm gonna check 'em out.
 
Doc, another great one for me was "Out of Chaos", by Louis Halle.

Nothing much - just an overview of Existence and The Universe. How "what exists" is mangled and shaped by the human mind 'til it becomes "what we understand".

That book made me what I am today. (Now *there's* a reason to ignore it if I ever heard one.)
