@DennisN , @BillTre , @Borek : Thank you for the replies. I want to strictly emphasize on the principle (a), that if we learn about the true nature of elements first, it is going to have potential to describe everything above it; even Microbiology can work under principles of QM, and QM on the...
I started thinking on the best move we (a beginner) can take to understand this world. I have followed the following principles to come to a decision:
a. Understanding elements first, will help to understand compound structure more easily.
b. Going in the order of origins takes us from...
Here is what I have found:
Below in quote 1, the usual requirement of using parts of an object can be seen, like 1/4 of st3t (which is usually a symbol for a particular area of land)--as like @jedishrfu seems to suggest the origin from surveying. We can see a possibility that the Egyptians...
There are certain explanations on how integers might have evolved, like for example "the wings of a bird to symbolize the number two, clover--leaves three, the legs of an animal four, the fingers on his own hand five."1 Seeing all these, and making experience short--abstract, can be said to have...
:oops: It may be. I am new to this field of study. If it is possible to break it down into many sub-books, to help in achieving that wide aim, it would be helpful. In between the time of your post, I found phonetics to be the basic field of linguistics, so I have started reading the Phonetics...
Which book gives a thorough overview of the structures of all the general languages from antiquity to present?
If there is no such book, a suggestion on the way of achieving it, would also be helpful.
I have started a project to learn Physics by understanding its intellectual evolution, instead of directly jumping into the Physics generalities/paradigms/theories described in textbooks. Now I started reading Rene Dugas' History of Mechanics book, which starts with Aristotle as the starting...
