2. If you like physics and you don't take it too seriously...

The Infinite Push is a fun read.

I don't ever claim to be right... I just take you inside the mechanics and let you figure out what's going on.

So it's not about being smart, it's just about trying to understand it a piece at a time. All the math mumbo jumbo is just a short hand so when you're working on physics or advanced geometry, you don't have to keep saying...

'You know... do that thing where you take the energy, not the spinning energy..."

"You mean a Lagrangian?"

YES!!!

That's how I do math by the way.... I don't use equations so much as use what I can to find solutions. So it's writing by an idiot for smarter people to read and go... wow, if this moron can understand physics, maybe it's not that hard. LOL 🤣
