? "Bookstack With Sleeping Cat"?‍⬛

#Deshelving these as part of a gradual attempt to fit all my books into designated space!

Numberland is my son's which he no longer wants.
Breathe I accidentally ordered 2 copies of, so keeping 1, donating the other.
The books on the English I never got round to reading, & doubt I ever will (well, I definitely won't now!)
Parallel Worlds & The Later Bourgeoise World are both good, but I won't re-read.

AllDebooks What a cutie 😍 2mo
Leftcoastzen 😻awww, I need to do a major sort , resulting in donations or trades ! 2mo

Scientific takedown of creationism. A good intro to quantum physics. It does get very slightly technical in some places. Quick read.

If you‘re new/curious about #quantumphysics, #parallelrealities and the illusion of time… this illustrated all of that for me through mini storytellings! Super short and sweet, great read! 179 pages, Highly recommend (:

The author takes a historical approach showing what problems with a Newtonian-based view quantum theory was reacting to and then how it has developed over the years. The easiest parts of the maths involved are relegated to an appendix, although the author stresses that it's impossible to fully understand the theory without the maths. Even in this stripped down form I was struggling but I think I did get glimmers of understanding here and there.

TheSpineView That looks like a good book. Is it overly complicated? 13mo
rwmg @TheSpineView I'm about 1/2 way through. He's taking us through it historically, which I think does make it easier to follow than a topical overview would. For the most part he has relegated the maths to an appendix but often warns us that it's a recurring problem that people can do the maths but that doesn't mean we actually understand what's going on in real life and without the maths even less so.

I really wanted to like this book because astronomy is one of my "secret" fascinations. But it fell very short. It starts off ok, and my only confusion stems from a European sport Idk about but later the author references diagrams in the physical book...which kind of defeats the purpose (imo) of the audiobook. If anything, this is more of a companion to the physical. In conclusion, I understood almost nothing bc I couldn't see the diagrams ?

coffees I'm sure the diagrams are made available but as I was driving (as I tend to do when audiobook listening)...well, I couldn't see them 2y
