I had read " The Grand Design" by Hawking just for fun.. Do you guy love reading physics? just for fun or for exam ...? If yes you can suggest books too that you found worth reading and if not you are welcomed to start new thread what you like to read and you have read because you are just crazy for that genre of book.

Saurav S (zaurav) | 18 comments I'm not really into Physics, but kinda into sci-fi and fantasy. I would suggest The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy as comic relief (if you haven't already read it).

Cheers.

I am reading "Parallel Worlds" by Michio Kaku.It is pretty good.Writing is more accesible than that of Hawking.

I did try reading A Brief History of Time but couldn't make it past the first chapter. This was in high school though. I find the concepts of physics really intriguing, yet very hard to understand the literature as there is LOTS of Math involved :)

You guys read the books coz you r really into physics ...or just for fun ? I haven't read the book ..'m a bio major..but have heard "Reinventing gravity" by John W. Moffat is really nice.
NIce topic for discussion:)

I love physics coz' it's the basic science...(LOL I said it in Sheldon Cooper way)and enjoy reading it. I am not good in maths so Hawking is my choice. In his latest book what i find most interesting is the concept of reality-a model based approach- that if laws of nature are well satisfied in two model with own frame of reference the both model are real.
Thanks for your interest on the topic.
Cheers!

Oh,yeah Hawkings!And his recent article on black hole.A great topic among the physicsts.Hawking -a pure genius, I must say.
By the way if you ppl have read "Brief history of time" -would you mind informing of how the book is?

Ok.
Let me try, It's a good because it's easy to understand that you do not need to know a single mathematical equation, it's interesting because it explains from big bang to black holes. It's a book worth reading.

Binaya | 1 comments In Brief History of Time,Hawking uses only on equation throughout the whole book,Einstein's World famous eqaution E=mc^2.Well,to understand the book,u need be pretty good at math n yeah u sud knw stuffs abt relativity.if u can do that,that book is awesome as fuck

Bibash Sapkota | 15 comments 'in search of schrodinger's cat' might be a nice suggestion for who want to understand quantuum physics.
