Read these instead.

Kys instead

Why do brainlets do this?

Brilliant. Anyone outside your field of expertise should kill themselves.

>>9606036
Maybe I just want interesting new thoughts about the universe I live in, and any dialogue at all about what I just read could be a means to that end. Instead I get a handful of buttfrustrated virgins upsetting themselves over their inability to interact with people.

Also, who the fuck said I didn't know the difference between momentum, velocity, speed, and motion? I asked if a handful of theories were properly represented in a certain book.

But that's not what physics is about whatsoever.

Are we supposed to praise you for reading something intended for 16 year olds and pot heads?

Nigger just tell me if the theories were properly represented.
>>9606055
I'm not a physicist. I'm a linguistics major, actually. Not that that's at all relevant to my question.

And the answer to you question is "No!"
Read a textbook. It will be more informative, more interesting, more relevant if you actually wanna talk about science. Popsci is less than a glib facsimile of what you should read.

>>9606059
This is a science board so idk why don’t you go to lit and ask them?

>>9606059
Nothing is well represented without the bare minimum of math. Your de facto position aginst learning also the minimum math is the reason we called you a faggot (at least me), and yea

Thank you. Look at that. Adult-level interpersonal skills.

>Nigger just tell me if the theories were properly represented.
What theories were presented? Did you encounter any algebra? How bout any proofs of statements or example problems? If the answer is no, then it's a bunch of incoherent junk and isn't really science.

>>inb4 yes if you don't know the math
If you don't know the math, you know precisely dick. Without the math it's utter nonsense and is a complete waste of time.

>>9606039
Introductory books exist for a reason.

:facepalm:

I opened this book when I was an undergrad. I consider it harsh criticism when I say that on the first page he said "this is the metric" but didn't immediately also say wtf the metric is.

Fabric of the Cosmos and Hidden Reality are much better.
