Online book clubs focused on cosmology textbooks are being sought, similar to traditional literature book clubs. The conversation highlights the potential for collaborative learning in physics subjects, with a mention of the idea suggested by Srendnicki regarding quantum field theory. In the U.S. college context, such gatherings are often referred to as "study groups," which have historically been popular for collaborative study and discussion. The interest in these formats indicates a desire for community engagement in complex scientific topics.

Wondering if there are any online “book clubs” that people read cosmology textbooks together?
Like literature book clubs you mean? Sorry, I can't help, but I find your thinking interesting. And if yes, why not on other physics subjects? Isn't Srendnicki who suggests sth similar for his QFT book?
In USA colleges, we used to call them "study groups" and they did flourish. Hopefully, they still do.
Hey all. Looks like my 15 year anniversary of joining PF happened yesterday (while my internet was down). Just wanted to say thanks to everyone, staff and non-staff, for helping make PF such a wonderful community over the years. Here's to everyone at PF, current, past, or future. Cheers!
