New textbooks
« on: 24/05/2020 19:55:38 »
There are two great new textbooks out that I decided to buy. They are

Modern Classical Physics: Optics, Fluids, Plasmas, Elasticity, Relativity, and Statistical Physics by Kip S. Thorne and Roger D. Blandford,   (2017)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0691159025/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

and

Relativistic Classical Mechanics and Electrodynamics by Martin Land and Lawrence P. Horwitz (2020)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1681737086/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The prices aren't that bad either. Each seems great for learning relativity.

It's responses like this that make  me block your posts.. I thought that this time you might have something constructive to say but I see I was wrong, you're merely sarcastic, which is the lowest form of humor.

Science usually considers it to be constructive to correct an error.
It seems you don't...

My copy of Modern Classical Physics: Optics, Fluids, Plasmas, Elasticity, Relativity, and Statistical Physics just came. Wow, it sure is a thick book. It's over 1500 pages long and about 5 cm thick! Nice book so far. It covers a lot of subjects, too.
