Chinahand Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I read the BBC science pages and Ars Technica daily and find Google New's Science Section ok, but a bit disappointing. What sources do you use to find out how we are improving our understanding of ourselves and the world around us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uhtred Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 My old copies of “Look and Learn” from the 1960s. I’m still grappling with that stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Tatlock Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Youtube is good...world science festival and much more...such as full lecture series from Stanford University etc. And a few good books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrighty Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I’ve got a good general grounding from school and university. I pick up biological science from medical journals, but for physics I tend to try and drill down into a subject rather than just get a superficial idea. I spent a few years on general relativity, trying now for particle physics/QED through books that cover the fundamentals and the maths in detail.

Just love relativity and anything to do with the creation of the universe and its laws, as well as down to the quantum level. Just mind blowing. I still think that Einstein was the man. To get your mind around his theories with it all in front of you is challenging enough, but when you extend that to the idea of coming up with all of that in the first place. Phenomenal.
