  • Weak Interactions and Modern Particle Theory by Howard Georgi

    Wow. Great book. I just got through the first 3 chapters. A bunch of stuff which I already knew but didn't understand on an intuitive level has just fallen into place.

    This is the same "Oh!" feeling I had about 8 years ago when I realised that all the different series representations of functions were simply different bases in the same Hilbert space.

        I had no idea what a Hilbert space was, but your aside makes sense given the introductory paragraph [edit: of the wikipedia article]

              Chapter 2.5 "The Goldstone Theorem" is absolute genius as far as pedagogical writing is concerned. It's inspired.

                  I felt like I was orgasming while reading Chapter Three "Quarks and QCD"

                  I might have to go smoke a cigarette now.

                    Right now I'm feeling like I did when I reread Reif studying for my qual in stat mech.

                    "Why didn't any of this stuff make sense the first time"?
