| highwaystar101 said: I don't really read fiction I'm afraid, as far as fiction goes I'm mostly Discworld oriented. I like books about science and nature though, I think I like to learn when I read, it's a big part of my enjoyment. At the moment I'm reading a book called "Quantum theory cannot hurt you", it's not the best book I've ever read if I'm being honest, but it's a nice introduction I suppose. I'm also reading the Qu'ran, mostly out of interest and partly to get rid of some of my ignorance about Islam. But I've broken it down into smaller portions. I'm not reading it all at once, I'm reading chapters inbetween other books. |
A good introduction to quantum physics is Alastair I. M. Rae's Quantum Physics: Illusion or Reality. It can be a bit dense at some points, but its not beyond comprehension, especially if you've encountered some of the ideas before. I prefer it because it maintains a respectable tone and sticks more to the conceptual issues raised by quantum physics while not dumbing the material down too much.
