Yea I want to read his book but last time I checked it wasn't available in this country. "To Be or Not To be Innit" was though, I just haven't had a chance to crack it open yet.

I've read Martin's book too - what a talented lot we have on here. There is a website you can get Slagg's book from but I can't remember what it is now. You will have to ask him.

Well I did, but didn't get a response!

People like Afinkawan probably actually understand the equations that allow for the layman's, real-world explanations I am ingesting.
Nope! I understand the concepts and am pretty good at dealing with the more abstract concepts involved but I definitely don't understand the actual equations! Physics is one of those subjects I absolutely love while it is explaining how the Universe works. I lose interest when it comes to all the sums to work out exactly how much it all works.
That's why I ended up in chemistry - not much maths, virtually all explanation of how things work.
F**k me, it's like a clown running across a minefield.

Book is in the post today.I didn't want it arriving before your birthday and spoiling your day.

Yea I want to read his book
I'll sort one out for you. It's taking a worryingly long time to move from pre-proof to a proper home. And I'm beginning to think I need to source a new home for it but I like the guy who's sorting it ... that's always been my trouble - liking everyone too much. I need to learn some hate. I'm off to Critique for the morning.

Hate is not much use, but a good dash of disdain is very healthy, especially when addressed to the smug, pompous and/or arrogant!

A Physicist I discussed this thread with made an interesting point:
'It is good that people are getting excited about science, shame we have to make it all so dramatic and scary for people to wonder just what things are made of again! What happened to curiosity and when did sensationalism take over!

The sensationalism took over as soon as the media heard the words, "Create a black hole".

If I ignore the fact that we're going to die, yes it is really exciting stuff.
Thing is, knowing scientists, after they actually switch it on they won't make any announcements about exciting things they've discovered until about 5 years have passed.
Everything should have a bobble on it |

My physicy friend says we're not going to die. But I'm still not convinced.

That sexy scientist bloke off the telly said in the Radio Times that we weren't going to die.
He made me feel a bit better.
