X-Message-Number: 21907 From: "Quantum Mechanic" <> Subject: Basic Physics Resources(WAS: [nytranshuman] Nanocosm Critique) Date: Sat, 7 Jun 2003 11:23:01 -0400 A good way to avoid the types of basic physics blunders that plague this book and many other critiques(and advocacy unfortunately) of nanotech is to brush up on as much physics, especially quantum physics, as you can stand. A good place to start teaching yourself physics is Wiley's "CD Physics for Windows". "The Cartoon Guide to Physics" CD is not bad either for a relative novice to physics, despite its frivolous sounding title. There are several other good multimedia titles out there as well, including Stephen Hawking's "A Brief History of Time". His books "The Illustrated Brief History of Time" and "The Universe in a Nutshell" are also excellent for the non specialist. > -----Original Message----- > From: MIKE TREDER [mailto:] > Sent: Saturday, June 07, 2003 10:49 AM > To: ; ; > > Subject: [nytranshuman] Nanocosm Critique ...............................
