    The fact that you think that the date 1964 is meaningful, makes me doubt your understanding of physics.

    But in this case the you was a general person, not Ecofarm in particular.

        In all likelihood you don't even understand Newtonian mechanics in any real detail.

          I'd also recommend Feynman over Hawking. Feynman was a fascinating individual, while Hawking seems like a lesser intellect and a media whore.

            Read up a couple of posts. What physicists do is thump their chest and pretend manliness.

              Actually, that's all you do. See the healthcare thread.

                  See?

                  DaShi, I pointed out at least two things in that thread. The fact that you ignore them is really not my problem or concern. Go lick KH's ass some more.

                    You didn't point out anything. You just said that you knew more than anyone else and then ran off crying.

                      How about Brian Greene, and his work, "The Elegant Universe?"

                        What's the reason you're participating in this thread?

                            A Brief History of Time is great (and brief). I still rely on that book for part of my understanding of atomic forces and the theory of relativity. I know, that's basic stuff but he really helps to get one's mind around it and comprehend it thoroughly.

                              1. It's an MSc, not an mba (and I got it across the pond).

                              2. What's wrong with a PhD in Ecology?

                                My mistake. I should have specified that they need knob jokes too.
