Anyway, enough piss taking, hows your leg now ?

I got to about the same place both a brief history of time and a brief history of nearly everything
about pg. 37 I think before I fell asleep and the buggers thumped on my chest

(Mr MC) trimix like every other aspect of my life, MC has to approve and vet my actions and opinions, be it on the internet or anywhere else.
That and my own log on never worked, and I cant be @rsed to set up a new one. Its easy enough to discriminate; if it contains technical content, profound insight, an extensive vocabulary, or signs of old age its me. If it contains kittens, fluffywuffy bunnykins and hair products its missus MC. Simples.
Knee still fecked...

I got about two thirds of the way through before giving up, and I hate giving up on books, but physics was never my strong point and I wasn't making any headway with it.
I also gave up about 6 tales into Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales, started to go a bit doolally with the rhyme.

I have an A grade in A level physics and got a couple of firsts in the undergrad physics modules I did at uni as part of my primary teaching degree, which included some quantum mechanics. But, I've never read the book.
Could be a good one to listen to as an audiobook. Easy to make too - just copy and paste the text into text to speech software

Another vote for "The Fabric of the Cosmos" here. Explains things using approachable analogies & has references to where you can find the actual maths in the back.

Is this the Bill Bryson book??
No, you're confusing it with BBs 'a short history of nearly everything'. However, unless you have a phd, then B Brysons book is much more of the common man/interesting.
