pickA good attempt at explaining fundamental physics for thickos like me. Still too many equations though 🙂

pickFirst 2 books of the #spookoweenreadathon @TheSpineView read and returned to the library.
Forces of Nature by Brian Cox- This was a great book. The science teacher in me was nodding along with most of this book, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Good Immigrant by Nikesh Shukla - Some really great stories.
Thanks to my school I'm glad I got to read it.

My brain is absolute mush now. Two physics books in a row? What was I thinking?! I blame SciManDan and his book club.
This book was a bit more advanced than The Ascent of Gravity. I‘m glad I read the other first. Cox also leans much more heavily on the mathematical equations, which are not my strong point, and I found my mind zoning out at times.
The layout of my copy is absolutely atrocious, it‘s one of the ugliest book insides I‘ve ⬇️
I‘m dying!! 😂🤣😂🤣
I‘m not on Twitter, but I have seen screenshots of people masquerading as historical figures, and I love it. 😅
I feel ya, Galileo, I feel ya.
Sent the hubby off to work while me and the cat snuggled under the covers with my books. Made sure my chickens were good and that the wild bird feeders were full then hightailed it right back inside. Mr. Nutters came to peruse my offerings shortly thereafter. 🐿 I hope everyone that has to venture out in this winter storm today is staying safe and warm!

pickWorked better for me than the other book from the series I read -- I actually grasped a good proportion of the physics! (I understood all the biology, of course.) Cox does have an enthusiasm that helps a lot. Wonder if the TV series would work to explain relativity... Might help through providing visuals; being aphantasic, I'm a little stuck when someone says "picture xyz..." to start their example.
Yeesh. I followed the part about symmetry. Gravity and spherical planets and elliptical orbits all make sense now. But relativity. Nope. No way. Cannot compute.
