After reading Quantum Man about Feynman I’m left pondering why I’ve had so little exposure to real quantum theory throughout my life
I’ve been able to get a feel for relativistic physics despite so much pop culture BS, but with quantum physics I don’t think I have ever gotten past the veneer.
Pop culture has completely mangled this subject, and I haven’t really known anyone personally who understood enough it who could give me some insight.
This book isn’t really that technical, but the author is a scientist and he doesn’t shy away from some grittier details. It has sat on my bookshelf for at least a decade, I’ve tried to read it several times and got no where.
It’s pretty satisfying to have progressed enough in my understanding of formal mathematics to be able to appreciate the subject finally. I don’t know what will come of it but there is a whole layer of knowledge here that is accessible where I never thought I would get it before.
