Thanks a bunch again! My dad was or should I say still is though he has been gone a long, long, time a Nobel Laureate and Physics was his "thing" wish I would of asked all these questions when he was alive (only if one knows what the future would bring ). Thanks Sussan

THANKS! That's more than a mouth full, however will give it a go. Talk about cutting to the chase. Again thanks a load. Sussan ps Will this book Mathematical Methods in the Physical Sciences by Mary L. Boas work on it's own?

Quantum Field Theroy? Thanks a bunch! Very well put and makes total sense. Now I understand so those that chose QFT solely are in a few words MUCH DEEPER in the area than QM people which use it more as a tool than a "field". Is this right? Sussan

Thanks a bunch Bill, I will take every item you listed and study what I may try first and go from there. I do agree IQs though important to some extent are not everything. In the two slit experiment I kind of "felt" the answer was that being the objects were so small that the results were...

Which maths should I need for QFT. Hi, Yes I am pretty much up on QM and a working knowledge of Feynman diagrams. As for Lagrangians and Hamiltonians not so much I have 'heard" of them. My IQ is 135 so "can" if need be learn fairly quickly. Sussan

Thanks for all the help on my QFT question I posted earlier. I have a new question I am very much interested in understanding QFT at a much higher level without going back to college and was wondering which mathematics' in particular are needed to really understand QFT. I did attend Ohio State...

Well Zz the Despicable Me Quote from the Minion was really cute! So you do get partial credit! Sussan

Zz! Really? After all that typing that is what I get? That being stated the Despicable Me minion quote was rather cute, so you do get "partial" credit of that one. Sussan

Hi Zz, I totally understand your concerns. Yes it is a “stupid” question for someone in the “field” and at times I have been called stupid, however as referring to this question I am more dumb than stupid. I did attend O.S.U. 1 year in honors level physics, however life had other plans...

Hi and thanks, Makes a whole lot of sense. For a while there thought a "war' was about to break out (ha ha). Sussan

Thanks for the reply. I was asking because I just watched a video from YouTube about a book "Fields of color" from a Dr. Rodney Brooks about QFT and he implies that QTF is kinda a "lost" idea. He made me wonder so just asking. Sussan

Why such hostility between string theorist and OFT supporters? kinda shocked by the anger when I just asked a as it now appears a not so simple question. Sussan

What ever happened with QFT? Heard so much about it years ago now only once in a while will a past Nobel laureate state it is real. I know string is the thing now. Any thoughts? Sussan

Ziggs boson? I noticed that as well kinda making things (names) up as he goes. He will also say "there's no name for it" then go on and state well there is a name it is so-so. What's that about... maybe his approach to driving an idea into one's mind? He does well until he starts changing...

Ziggs boson? Thanks. Am I wrong or does Susskind have this "thing" about the Higgs? He acts to my mind as if he either hates the idea or the man behind it. I understand he is very much "in-tune" with this area, however just belittles others in his field a tad much. I understand he hung with...
