Physics

[close] A community of people who want to engage with topics spanning across physics, mathematics, computation, biology, chaos and complexity theory, cognitive sciences (artificial intelligence, neuroscience, psychology), philosophy of science (and other areas at intersectional crossroads) at a more robust level than popular expositions that are intended for a broader audience. Every member ought to have the enthusiasm and will to work through difficult texts (and solving exercises, if needed!) This implies that the selection of books that are more formal in the treatment of their subject matter will be prioritized over those that shy away from complications, but doesn't necessarily exclude anything apriori. On the other hand, we want to pick up those having relevance in addressing fundamental questions rather than digging down the rabbit hole for extremely niche curiosities.

[close] Hi all! I'm Hok (NOT Ray, pictured) — I'm a physics enthusiast living in the UK and cannot believe that very few people on the Internet are talking about or discussing independent physicist Ray Fleming's 30 years' worth of incredible work on theoretical physics that may well turn out to be the Theory of Everything. In his books, including The Zero-Point Universe, he overturns popular and somewhat 'successful' theories such as Einstein's account of General Relativity via curved spacetime, quark theory and quantum chromodynamics, in order to give us a comprehensive model of how the universe actually works. His ideas have the potential to explain away the greatest 'mysteries' of physics, such as the missing matter problem (dark matter / dark energy / dark gravity) and anomalies from the JWST that do not fit with our best theories in cosmology. If this candidate for a Grand Unified Theory is not worth talking about, I don't know what is. Let's discuss Ray's ideas. Ray is reportedly working on his new book, The New Physics 2nd Edition. He is currently living in the Philippines.

[close] The idea here is to finding a list of novels (good reads) where the central character(s) is/are an engineer/physicist/mathematician (ie strong STEM model). We are especially interested in novels where the central character(s) is a female strong in STEM. Books from different genre, for ages groups and from different cultures are encouraged.
