RE: Quantum Physics books
Hello there,
The The "Lila Squad" was a term used by Robert Pirsig (who wrote the book of the same name) to describe those who may find the ideas contained in it to be of some importance. That's all.
RE: Quantum Physics books
Pisig himself thought that, ultimately, Lila would be the more important book in the long term. I think that he was right. It is also more accessible.
RE: Quantum Physics books
hmmm sounds like another book I should start reading!!
I've just started another book called "The disappearance if the universe". anyone heard of it?? or read it?
RE: Quantum Physics books
Hi,
In my own opion, Pirsigs two books (Zen and the Art of Motrorcycle Maintainance, and Lila) are possibly two of the most important works of literatureever. The first rips away everything you ever thought of as concrete and real, the second is the one that re-builds and helps you to understand. Not everyone will agree but, as one reviewer said,"Itis well worth the journey."
RE: Quantum Physics books
I can recommend "QED" by Richard Feynman. It's written pretty much for the layperson, and amazingly, explains quantum mechanics with no math, and no confusing stuff like "wave-particle duality".
Oh, and the author won the Nobel prize for his own work in quantum mechanics.
