>>16264745Hello sciencemen, I am stupid feller that would like to get intellectual. I want to understand string theory. My current understanding goes up to doppler effect kek, my math is pathetic but nobody understands math. Is there any hope for me, I am just a simple C programmer. Can you recommend me a book or a resource where I could begin my journey into the unknown realm of bosonic strings moving through a 26-dimensional spacetime?
>>16264888You could read some popular science books on the topic but realistically that is as far as you are going to get. To truly understand them and where the ideas came from requires you to take post-graduate level physics courses.
>>16264908I learn everything myself, all the knowledge is out there. Wouldn't you agree it's possible to learn it on my own? I do imagine I would go for a more academic approach should I hit a roadblock. Wouldn't hurt to try it on my own.
>>16265458As a minimum you would need to teach yourself quantum mechanics, quantum field theory and general relativity - so that includes a hell of a lot of calculus, the calculus of variations / lagrangians, complex analysis, group theory, PDEs, Fourier transformations, path integrals, differential geometry. All that before you can start on String Theory.
>>16265612Ah yes, the cult of quantum actively proselytizing again. Read the holy scriptures! Bow down to the gods of materialist-mechanistic interpretations of our measurements; We are the sole arbitrators of truth! Sickening to behold...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IwgRNS1Frs
>>16265624are you feeling alright anon? did a scientist touch you in a bad place when you were young?
>>16265612Seems like a lot of stuff to learn. I will start with quantum mechanics. Thanks anon, this journey will be legendary.
>>16265668Good luck. I'll tell you now you will fail on your journey. But hey, at least you might enjoy some of it until you give up.
